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

    Ok Jonathan, I think it has extracted but I'm not sure where to look. outside of the c:\SWSetup$SP154185. I don't know what to do from here.

    The file in the link I sent above is just the installer, download and run it to install it.

    When the installation is complete, restart your computer.

    Click on the start menu and select settings

    Go to System > Sound

    Select the output device and see if the problem persists.
