The command (just like Device Manager) shows the HardwareID, for which the driver is installed.
If the driver you have downloaded doesn't match the HardwareID, simply it will not be installed.
To explain that, just note that along with the driver files, there are also several .inf files, which are used to install the driver. If the driver doesn't match the HardwareID of your audio device, in one of the.inf files, it will not get installed. Once it does get installed, then either from the above command, or from Device Manager, you get the confirmation that the driver was installed.
If you want to find which .inf file was used to install the driver, run this command in an elevated PowerShell
Then go to the driver files you downloaded and search for the .inf file you got from the command above.Code:Get-WindowsDriver -Online | where {$_.ProviderName -Match 'Realtek' -and $_.ClassName -match 'MEDIA'} | select @{N='INF file used';E={Split-Path $_.OriginalFileName -Leaf}}
Open the .inf file with notepad and verify that your HardwareID is included.
