Audio Broken

[TonySwig]

So, for a while now my audi driver was missing. First thing I did was re install it, the right one for sure, to no prevail, the realtek driver is not showing up but drivers for my monitor with no output and VR headset is working. Please help, I have been holding this off for a while but need to hear sound again!
