Audio drivers stopped working over night
Post Body

MSI H110m gaming i5 6500 1060 Win10 x64

I woke up this morning and my computer was frozen. I reset it and now my speakers don't work. MSI's site says they pushed a new Realtek driver today, so I'm assuming that's related but I can't fix the problem. My speakers don't show up in playback devices, there's no Realtek in device manager just Nvidia under sound. There's a "high definition audio controller" under system devices with a yellow ! but it just says my drivers are up to date.

When I find my pc under devices and printers in control panel there's a yellow ! there too and it says that it detects an issue with my audio drivers, but when I troubleshoot it just reinstalls the same default drivers then says it didn't fix the problem.

I've checked in my BIOS and audio is enabled. I've tried uninstalling everything sound related and reinstalling with no luck, including old realtek drivers. I did a system restore to Dec 29 but that didn't fix anything.

I tried connecting my headphones to my tv so I can route the sound through it's HDMI at least temporarily but there's so much interference it's not useable.

I'm just out of ideas on what to do at this point.
