Hello, I've been having audio issues with my headphones and speakers recently. they've both been showing up as the same driver so for one to work, the other one has to be unplugged. I looked it up online and it seems it can be fixed through the Realtek Audio Manager, the only problem is I don't have it for some reason. (possibly from moving to an SSD?)
I know I use Realtek cause my speaker shows up as (Realtek High Definition Audio)
does any one have the driver/download to it?
