How do I get my Realtek Audio Driver back on my HP laptop? It has completely disappeared. It is no longer in the Device Driver to add back or update. Ive tried to find the device driver by going to to device manager there is no audio to choose from and when I go down to the sound it only shows Bluetooth devices that are not in use anymore.
Thank you

I didn't see any error, I thought I just could not find it, that's why I went ahead and restarted my computer when you said to, otherwise I would have known for sure there was still an issue. I can try to reinstall or extract it again from the download file (shown below), or the new link you sent. (never mind the link you sent will just download back to this file).
when extracted it this where it went
When you ran the installer you downloaded, did it install without errors?
Here ya go, also nothing. Only shows the Bluetooth headsets again.
I'm sorry, I should have told you that I had checked all of the places when I restarted my computer.
just incase you want this screenshot as well
Click on start menu and type Device Manager
Click View Menu > Show HIdden Devices
Expand sound video and game controllers
Take a screenshot and post it here please
Nothing, just the Bluetooth headsets that are not in use anymore.
