No audio device is installed (How to fix?)
I had weak sound from my system speakers under sound video and game controllers, and I found that I needed to update my Realtek driver so I did. After downloading that new driver the sound was not improved. I also had a sound controller Intel(R) Display Audio (or something Intel) in the sound video and game controllers line so I thought it might somehow be conflicted with the Realtek controller so I uninstalled the sound controller Intel(R) Display Audio. When I did that, I had no sound and I got the message "No audio device is installed" on the speaker symbol in the tray. When I viewed the event log associated with that uninstall, I got this:

Now I see the Intel(R) Display Audio in Audio Inputs and Outputs, but I still do not see it added back to Sound Video and Game Controllers and the speaker sound is still off.
This seems to be a common problem with several solutions, but the solution (or solutions) are complicated and I don't know where to start or what to do. What to do next?
Thanks,
