No audio device in Windows 10
A few months ago, I upgraded my from Windows 7 to Windows 10 without problems. However, my Asus X73E notebook sometimes completely froze, so I decided to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch. Now I get the message "no audio output device installed". The High Definition Audio-Controller driver from Microsoft shows the error 10 ("device could not be started").
So I tried installing the Windows 10 audio driver from Realtek, but the installation gave me a bluescreen (System Thread Exception Not Handled RTkvhd64.sys). I tried installing a Realtek audio driver for Windows 7, but that driver doesn't start (message "the request is not supported"). If I boot from a live Ubuntu USB-Stick, the sound works without problems... What am I doing wrong?
