From what I can find, while the Realtek Audio Console used to be available through the Microsoft Store, it looks like it's been discontinued, as it's not available, and I've found posts from sites like reddit that say the same thing. I did find a "Realtek Audio Control", but when the link opens the Microsoft Store and I try to download it, it ultimately fails. Still, here it is in case it works for you...

Right click the device, click Update Driver, then in the pop up box click Browse my computer for drivers. First, make sure the "Include subfolders" box is checked, then click Browse, locate the unzipped drivers folder in the pop up box, select it, click OK, then click Next on the main popup box. It should find the driver and install it, though if the driver already installed is more up to date, it will tell you that it didn't install anything.

Another option you could try, especially for a more up to date driver than what's available in the driver pack available in that link, is 'Driver Booster'. The free version is fine. However, even if it finds drivers for many devices, I would still only update the Audio device. Driver Booster is often recommended by barry, a tech for the company, so it's safe to use. But again, I would only update the audio device and nothing else.

I decided to perform a clean install of Windows 11 24H2 on my AMR5. Unfortunately, I forgot to save the the drivers from the installed 23H2, so I downloaded the drivers from here and used them, which are from a 22H2 version of the install. As it turns out, a few aren't compatible with 24H2, and Windows Update wasn't finding the ones I still needed, namely the Bluetooth and WiFi drivers. So I downloaded, installed and ran Driver Booster. I hadn't used it before. Anyway, at this point I had already saved a system image of the 24H2 install, so I decided to just install/update all drivers that it found, then restarted the computer. Unfortunately, this didn't fix the Bluetooth issue, but I decided to uncheck the WSQL requirement in the settings in Driver Booster, then ran the scan again. This time it showed three more drivers, including the Bluetooth, which showed that the one installed was "faulty". I only updated the Bluetooth driver, as I didn't want to chance the other two with them not being WSQL. It fixed the Bluetooth issue. However, it now showed issues with Logitech devices (I use a wireless Logitech mouse and keyboard). I found the fix for this was installing Logitech's Set Point software, even though it's incompatible with the Mouse I have. But the Logitech driver issue went away.

When I was checking to make sure the Bluetooth and Logitech things were fixed, I decided to check the "Sound, video and game controllers" entry and saw that it now showed Realtek, so one of the driver updates I did with Driver Booster fixed it.

I also found this is "Installed Apps"...

I don't know where in the above win11 pro driver pack the realtek version is because when I try to update it it says i already have the latest one.
