This problem started because I was troubleshooting another audio-related issue when Windows asked me if it could uninstall and re-install my audio driver.
I accepted, and it succeeded in doing its task the first time, but tried uninstalling and re-installing again, and when deleting it, it froze, so it only deleted and never re-installed it again. and now I have a red X next to my audio sign,
so I installed the Realtek audio driver from their official website(the audio i was using before), yet it still does not show up, so what i did was i went to device manager and tried to use legacy hardware to add the 'USB audio OEM device' in the 'sound video, and game controllers' section but when attempting to install,
hardware wizard presented me with:
'An error occurred during the installation of this device.
The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance.'
if you want to see what's basically my exact situation, this video shows it perfectly (even how the troubleshooting looked in my screen):

you can watch this video up until the point where he installs 'USB audio OEM device', because as you know, I cant.
as of right now, I don't know what to do, my laptop has no audio and it has been stuck like this for 2 days now, I've been trying so hard to fix it, but no solution works, I really hope you guys can help me.
