Hey I installed all of the drivers. Any ideas now? It still doesnt show.
Realtek Audio Driver not showing up in Device Manager or Services. Realtek Audio Console says "can not connect to RPC service."
Recently I was checking my audio settings in Windows 11 and I notice the Realtek option wasn't anywhere to be found. I need the Realtek option for the audio ports on my PC. I re-installed the Realtek Audio Drivers from my motherboards driver site countless times and nothing worked or showed up. They seem to be installed in the system, but they don't show anywhere else. I tried to see if my Device Manager showed them, but no luck. I tried watching different videos on how to fix it, but all of them needed to go into either Device Manager or Services where the Realtek Audio Driver isn't showing. I don't know what to do and have tried what seems like everything. The Realtek Audio Drivers install fine and should be working. I have tried using the "Show hidden devices" option, still nothing as well as the "Scan for hardware changes" option. Another problem I am having is with the Realtek Audio console. It gives a message saying, "Can not connect to RPC service." I don't really know what that means. My PC used to be working fine with Realtek, but now it doesn't want to show me anything in Device Manager or Services. I have tried updating BIOS and checking BIOS settings (HD Audio Controller).

Strange, do the following: uninstall the High Definition Audio Controller drivers and both will not restart the PC.
Install the drivers from the link below and then restart the PC.
