So my audio recently stopped working because I tried to fix my fallout 3 game by uninstalling my realtek hd audio drivers and reinstalling them (sounds stupid I know but apparently this is the best fix) so now I have a red cross on my speaker icon telling me that "No audio output device is installed"
I tried reinstalling the drivers again and again but it never worked. And I also tried disabling my nvidia sound drivers, which I didnt know I had until I looked in my device manager.
EDIT* disabling and re enabling the realtek drivers dont seem to work either
I even went to my motherboards manufacturers website (gigabyte ga-a75-ud4h) to get the audio drivers from there (which are just regular realtek drivers)
Realtek HD audio manager seems to recognize my speakers when I plug them in, but nothing from windows
