Thanks!!

Hi Ryan,
I would recommend getting back to the basics.
You have removed realtec and you are now using generic windows drivers correct?
The sound card is on the mother board or installed on it's own card?
If it has it's own card unseat it (while the system is off.) then re-seat the card making sure it is secure
Once you determine that several otherwise working speakers/headphones are having that same issue, then that points to hardware failure.
