Yesterday morning, I did a virus scan&fix after recommendation by my Avast Antivirus.
Since then, the my sound driver (RealTek) is no longer available. It is not even seen in my Device Manager.
Avast Support spent several hours on the problem and still did not manage to fix it.
I have seen discussions from earlier years on the same topic and tried those fixes:
I installed the latest RealTek audio drive
I went to the Avast Driver Updater and reverted back to a previous RealTek version, from before my scan&fix.
I restarted my compoter between each step.
Nothing worked.
What do I need to do and how come that this is still a problem?
Avast seems to have been aware of this years ago.
