Audio problems

[CardinalHunter]

So my PC couldn't update its NVIDIA drivers and I tried to fix it through several ways and eventually gave up and reset my PC but keeping all my files. Today when I used my mic, my mic was much quieter than it was before the reset, I went to the sound properties, cranked the volume to 100 but it's still very soft. Thus I went to reinstall Realtek audio driver, cuz I'm using an Asus Prime B350 Plus and none of them worked and now my audio itself is broken and I can't hear anything. PLEASE HELP ME I'M SO TIRED. Prior to doing this I had to fix my graphics problems and now I'm really tired. I just finished my exam and so I'm supposed to be having some relaxed time but I can't.

I don't recommend doing a "reset". Try a clean windows install with a media creation tool. When you go through the windows setup, connect to the internet and all of your drivers should install
