I've been trying to fix this for awhile now, it only started happening about 4-6 days ago. i'm pretty sure that the problem is something to do with realtek audio, i have the version loaded off of the disk that came with my motherboard and have updated it in device manager.
ive uninstalled re-installed it several times and have tried lots of things that other people did like setting the realtek speakers to the main audio output.
when i plug in my headset (turtle beach x12's), speakers or other sound devices it dont show it in the Sound section and i don't get a notification heres a picture of what it looks like
