Hello, Realtek was removed from my laptop manually through the control panel and I would like to reinstall it.
I've gone to the website and all of the downloads didn't fix my issue. / Match my issue. (I've installed some of them and didn't work.)
I've contacted support about it and they just said to manually reinstall the audio driver from the My Devices page, which hasn't fixed my issue. I've also followed a lot of tutorials and none of them worked or didn't match the issue I'm having. Realtek had updated their website since some of the tutorials so a lot of the tutorials were out dated if they DID match the issue I was having and/or I couldn't find the driver they were saying to download.
Am I going to factory reset my laptop just to get the driver back? I've been dealing with this issue for a month and I've done everything but ask the community for help, so I'm unsure what to do at this point besides just to factory reset.
Thank you very much in advance.

Device manufacturers make customizations to the sound chips hence getting a driver from the manufacturer driver is recommended. What is the make and model of the computer?

2019-10-10T16:47:19+00:00 Hi Greg (or anyone else who can help me) - My audio stopped working today after the most recent Windows update. I am trying to follow the steps you recommended at https://www.realtek.com/en/downloads , but neither of the 2 options on the page are obvious links for the RealTek High Def Audio. And when I select the first option, it gives me an even longer list of options, none of which appear to be an obvious match.
