Someone, anyone, please help me, I am starting to lose my mind. I came home from work Friday and turned on an anime episode to relax. Suddenly my computer froze completely and all I could do is turn the power off. When it restarted, windows 10 automatic updates which I refused to install up to that point, got installed automatically. When the system rebooted, I no longer had sound. Just a red X on the speaker icon, saying "No speakers or headphones are plugged in". Which is false, since I pretty much heard Midorya yell "DETROIT SMASH" in the episode. I rechecked, it was not unplugged. I checked the speakers (don't know the brand, just says "MS" on the front of the sub) by inserting them into my phone and sure enough they work.
I've searched everywhere. Seriously, aside from going to the dentist, I've spent 2 days trying to fix it. I've installed every possible driver known to man. From Realtek sound driver (which doesn't show in device manager) to freaking BIOS. I even reinstalled win 7 only to find out the problem persists. I reinstalled win 10 again because my motherboard installation CD, strangely has only win 10 drivers. My speaker setups says (UNKNOWN) and in playback devices there are 4 identical NVIDIA output (NVIDIA high definition audio -> Not plugged in) messages.
Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, updating... everything.
My motherboard is PRIME H310M-K, I'm sending the dxdiag file although it's nearly a fresh install of the operating system. Each time I install realtek drivers, they simply don't show in device manager as a device. I read that maybe the issue was it cannot find a device to attach itself to. But then is my hardware broken? Please, for the love of God, someone help me. Without this PC, I have no life to live.
