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).

Hi ,
There are drivers, but they are not showing up. You can search for them in the list.
dism /online /get-drivers /format:table

Thanksw
I get an error 87 "The table argument given for the Format option is invalid. For more information, refer to the help by running DISM.exe /?." Also would there be a way to fix Realtek Audio Console giving the can not connect to RPC service?
Hi ,
Well, without the driver, RPC will not work without recognizing the driver, it will loop or give the same error as I reported. The Realtek driver must be appearing in the device manager or High Definition Sound, which would be the generic driver.

Ok would there be a fix to this error im getting with the terminal?
Hi ,
It would be a reinstallation as stated in the first post. Installing the driver from the motherboard without the audio driver will not make any difference and will not work.
I'm sorry, but without the audio driver, Realtek will not work.
