Hey guys, me again.

So I've been having an issue with my computer crashing (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2250723/computer-crashes-work.html) and I was updating my drivers to see if that would fix it HOWEVER I then encountered a new problem (likely unrelated).

Basically my old audio drivers were Realtek ones however once I used Device Manager to scan for new drivers and installed them I suddenly couldn't get any sound from my TV only from my headphones. As you will see in the screenshots below once the drivers are updated everything changes in the device manager, names ect...., however they are a YEAR newer and I was wondering if these drivers were causing the crash my computer was encountering.

System specs:

ASRock N68C-S UCC - Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 850 - CPU
AMD Radeon HD 6870 - GPU
1TB HDD
8GB Corsair XM3 RAM
500W EVGA PSU
Windows 7 64bit OS
2 case fans and an upgraded (don't ask me what it is because I don't know) heat sink.


Here are the screenshots, does anyone know a way of fixing the new drivers or know why they aren't working?

Have you tried obtaining drivers from here? http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-S%20UCC/?cat=Download - of course, uninstalling, rebooting, then trying again...also, any apps hanging up that particular audio source? And I'm assuming you have something physically connected, since some audio devices will act up if nothings connected.

To rule out a hardware issue, you can always boot like a Linux distro live disc and see if sound plays.
