My pc doesn't detect any new output device outside my monitor's audio. I constantly have in the device manager two high definition audio controllers, one is working fine, the other one can't start(i don't know if that's the issue). The headphones for sure aren't the issue since they're working everywhere else. I tried to fix by manually downloading realtek audio drivers of my mobo from the manufacturer and format the pc completely with a fresh windows install but nothing fixed. I didn't do any updates and I don't have any new update to do, so I really don't know what the issue could be.

what about this one?
Can you go to BIOS and see if audio card is detected in the motherboard? Considering you've gone through a clean install, and have all of the correct driver installed, the issue can be hardware related at this point.
well, I honestly don't know how to check that.
Different motherboard can have different BIOS menu stucture and labeling.. so I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact place to look, but in general, once you get into BIOS, look for anything related to onboard device, and see if it shows you the Realtek audio card. If not, then it can be the card is bad, or it is not seated correctly, hence not detected.

Thank you.
Can you go back to Device Manager > Video, audio and game controller. uninstall any of the Realtek audio related item.
If restarting t he computer doesn't help, go to this Intel page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/downloa...
Run the auto detect, and see if it recommends the Realtek audio to install. If so, install it and see if it makes any difference.
done already yesterday, got nothing from it
