Windows 10: I fully reboot my computer and I have no audio

I have recently fresh started my whole computer. After doing so I only have "audio" under device manager as my monitor. That doesn't even play anything.. I have my receiver plugged in as well as even tried my headphones to prompt "speaker/headphone. Went to my motherboards website and downloaded everything off of it. Even downloaded realtek off of intel and nothing...
