Windows 10: Realtek USB Audio driver causing BSoD every time I turn on my Dell G3

Every time I turn on my Dell G3 15 3500 laptop, I get a BSoD. This started around 3 weeks ago, first being like once a week, and now it's happening every single time, and I have absolutely no idea if anything I did might've caused it. The audio works completely fine. I'm on Windows 11.I've tried reinstalling the driver, and nothing. I usually update my drivers through Dell's website based on my device specifically. I've ran software tests and it comes out all clear.The message I get on Dell Support Assist:Bug check code 0x1000007EBug check parameters 0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff8079e754af5, 0xf

Realtek Audio driver causing blue screen

I do have Realtek listed in Apps and Features before I uninstall to download and try a different version. I have been able to download the previous version of Realtek HD audio driver for pre RS3 Win10. This version of the driver doesn't cause BSOD but
instead gives me error 10. I've tried using the Audio Troubleshooter to diagnose from this point but the troubleshooter can't identify anything other than my Nvidia audio connected via HDMI. Hopefully contacting MSI will lead to an answer, thank you

 

Realtek Audio driver causing blue screen

So MSI's Realtek HD Universal driver is not installing, and causing BSOD ?

I assume Realtek audio is not listed in Programs and Features or
Settings>Apps and Features, but if it is you should uninstall

that driver as it's is likely corrupted. Reboot before trying to install the driver from MSI.

"Realtek audio control from the app store won't download and it seems to be a common problem for many users"

- Hmm, this may explain why the HD Universal driver is so small, but shouldn't have been a problem for many years, because this

universal driver thing only applies to newer hardware.

The traditional driver includes the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. No need to download anything from the Windows Store.

If you have not tried the full Realtek driver on the MSI download page you may want to give it a go anyway. The universal driver

is only recommended, so you may find the pre-universal driver still works properly.

If that installs successfully you could try installing the Universal package on top of the full driver if you find it is missing some options

in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.

- Because you are also having a problem updating the BIOS you may want to contact MSI support and forums.

The BSOD that happens only when the Realtek driver is installed could indicate a hardware fault in the Realtek audio chip or motherboard circuit.
