It only wants an INF file. I've tried several I found in my realtek download. None worked, I simply get "you already have the best driver installed" which I clearly do not because I have no sound lol.
Realtek Audio device Code 10 cannot start and unable to update

My headphone and mic jacks on my pc do not work and I have been trying for hours to get my on board sound working. I got the realtek drivers from my board manufacturer and every time I install them I get (Code 10 : Device cannot start.) I have tried updating and I have the newest driver so I am entirely stuck here.
I have tried many different realtek drivers and none work, not even the one supplied by the manufacturer so I would really appreciate if anyone could walk me through how to actually get my sound working.
I have a Z390 Phantom Gaming 4 board and Intel i5 9600K chip.

2020-03-31T03:55:19+00:00 I did that to see which one was connected to the hdmi and which one wasn't so that I might know where to try installing the realtek drivers. However, using the have disk option I'm not sure which file I'm looking for...

2020-03-31T03:32:50+00:00 The 2 audio devices in system devices say they are on PCI bus 0 and 1 respectively. When I disable the 0 one, nothing happens. When I disable the device on bus 1, the hd audio device in sound video and game controllers disappears so that one must be linked to it. The one on 0 I have no idea.
