Jook I do switch back and forth from my TV using HDMI and then back to headphones often, I deleted the realtek drivers the mic seemed to work for a few minutes but reverted back shortly, and I have an NVidia card, what did you do specifically after deleting the reltek drivers?
Mats, just so I get this right you want me to delete my current real tek drivers, reboot check around for realtek folders THEN install the new driver? and the new driver would be just the newest realtek one? because currently that's what I am running the most up to date drivers on reltek.
id really hope nothing is failing onboard, entire Pc is less than a year old, when I rolled back the realtek drivers to a previous version, it rolls back to "Microsoft" not sure what that even means, I don't have a sound card its all onboard so.
