I recently bought a copy of Skyrim on sale. It installed fine (even though I dislike Steam dependency), but after the "Bethesda Drum" sound, there is no audio whatsoever ingame. Furthermore, subtitles, although i enabled them, don't show up, and the game refuses to progress past the cart scene.
From some searching I've already done, it seems that this could be a DirectX problem, or something having to do with my sound card, a Realtek (although that wouldn't explain the apparent lack of ingame triggers). I currently have DirectX 11, and all drivers should be up to date. It has been suggested to install a DirectX update/version/something of the sort, but it seems I already have everything installed.
I have tried:
-installing the DirectX SDK
-re-installing Skyrim
-updating sound card drivers
None of this has worked so far. Any help would be appreciated!

Also, on loading the game, the Skyrim logo will appear on the screen, which will then freeze for about 10 seconds before unfreezing and displaying the menu.
