Realtek not found at all on amd custom pc

[Kperez00198]

(after checking that my audio connector was plugged in properly to my mobo), i noticed that my front headphone jack works but not my mic in. after looking online i came to the solution that it was my realtek driver, but when searching in my device manager i didnt see anything about it being installed on my computer at all, i only find my monitor and s/pdif inputs and outputs in my audio inputs and outputs section and in my sound, video and game controllers section i only found amd high definition audio device and a high definition audio device manufactured by microsoft. my question is why can i not find realtek? and most importantly how do i fix this to get my front panel mic connection working? (i dont know if its relevant but when i do plug my mic in the connector i am told i makes a loud static noise with no sign of my voice at all)

What are youre specs? Realtek is a tool used by OEM Manufacturers so it might not even be on your pc. Also, go into the 'recording' tab in that rightmost window, speak into your mic, and make sure the one that lights up as getting a signal is set to default

okay try downloading DDU: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/DDU/download/DDU v18.0.1.9.exe - I know its called display driver uninstaller but it also works for sound drivers. Delete sound drivers and restart. Let windows do it's thing when PC has booted into windows.

ryzen 2700x

msi b450 gaming pro carbon

asus rog rx 5700xt

gskill ripjaw v 3600

gigabyte c300 case

running on windows 10, and when plugged and set as default it is picking up the mic but not my voice, i believe its the static because it is constantly peaking whether i talk or not and yes i have tried other headsets and cords but they all act the same when plugged in, i have a standalone that works with an audio interface but sometimes i dont wanna use all of that its easier to plug in to the front panel

is there any risk to this not working? cause if so ill save it for a last resort if nothing else works

No not really.. Just make sure auto driver install is on (it is by default) https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/disable-automatic-driver-downloads-on-windows-10 (this is a guide to disable it, but it works both ways lol) - You can also choose to disable it and download the latest drivers for your realtek soundcard from MSI - https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC#down-driver&Win10 64 (this is the way I would do it myself)
