Well I listened to some forums and had uninstalled it without uninstalling the drivers. Now it isnt even showing up under hidden devices. Ive tried a ton of different drivers from realtek and msi themselves, trying to use legacy versions gives me a bsod. My laptop uses internal speakers yet it says its disconnected, I dont know what to do.
