Generic Realtek driver.
Try the one from ASUS. Laptops often have special versions. And I would install chipset drivers again.

In the model page is posted the Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.1.8437 and as I said at the beginig of the discussion , tried already.
Tried 5-6 (older and newer) Realtek drivers. There are no differencies regarding the sound in 18298.
At the end, didn't understand (and seems till now that nobody understands) what is wrong in this build.
What's so different from the previous version to make system at boot to not recognize/see the audio controllers?
Regarding the chipset driver, tried also to install/reinstall the driver.
In the model page there are two chipset drivers:
- Version 10.1.17541.8066 - 2018/08/28 - 4.94 MBytes - Intel(R) Chipset Device Software V10.1.17541.8066
- Version 10.1.17541.8066 - 2018/03/19 - 4.93 MBytes - Intel(R) Chipset Device Software V10.1.17541.8066
and tried both.
Tried also a newer one from Intel 10.1.17541.8094, but nothing changes for my sound.
