Realtek Audio Drivers & Control Panel Not Working

Since updating my audio drivers, I've experienced problem after problem with anything related to audio devices. Some details about the situation:
The motherboard is an ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS WiFi operating on Windows 10 x64
The Realtek audio driver version is 6.0.9238.1

1) Realtek HD Audio Manager is gone

The driver update replaced the excellently working Audio Manager with something called the Realtek Audio Control Panel, which had less features and far worse reliability. I've tried to find a download or an executable for the old Audio Manager, but no driver set seems to download it. There is no RtkNGUI64.exe or even the C:\Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA directory in the Realtek folder.
Additionally, the Audio Control Panel seemed to work worse and worse after each restart. The equalizer would no longer show up, and eventually all audio devices were simply set to 0 volume and disabled, despite them actually still functioning.

2) Realtek Audio Control Panel fails to download

After uninstalling the Audio Control Panel to try and solve the above problems with it, it no longer downloads at all from the Microsoft App Store. The download fails every time with the error code 0x803fb005.

3) Headphones are not recognized in the rear jack

After another clean reinstall of the newest drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's website, the Windows Sound Control Panel only lists a single device which reportedly uses the Front and Rear panel 3.5mm jacks. This is not true, as my speakers are connected to the single jack in the front panel, and my headset is connected to the Line Out and Mic jacks in the back panel. Unplugging and plugging the headset back in has no effect.

 

Realtek Audio Control

Realtek Audio Control from MS store requires a UAD/DCH based Realtek audio driver, which is at least version 6.0.1.83xx something (ex. 6.0.1.8348 & 6.0.1.8356 from late January 2018 and newer) AND supplied by the PC manufacturer of your computer.

your Realtek HD audio driver version is
too old to be using Realtek Audio Control, Gholyaa.

ask the OEM or PC manufacturer of your machine to see if a Realtek UAD driver is available.

 

Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]

I just built a new rig with a ASRock X470 Taichi motherboard and Win 10 64bit 1903. I downloaded the driver from my motherboard's site (Realtek high definition audio driver ver:8668_UAD_WHQL_DTS) and then ran the powershell script to detect the driver type.

Since I couldn't get more than 1 output, I also tried the latest driver in the 1st post (HDA DRIVER VERSION: 6.0.8716.1).

No matter what is plugged in, I only have 1 playback/output device.

• I plug my speakers into rear panel = audio plays out the speakers and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)
• I plug my headphones into front panel = audio plays out my headphones and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)
• I plug my headphones into front panel and speakers into rear panel = audio plays out of front panel and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)

I used to be able to switch between front and rear when both were plugged in. Anyone have any suggestions?
