CymTyr: Hmm. Did you try rebooting with nothing connected to your sound jacks? If not, try that.

Also it seems that the Nvidia software is conflicting with your Realtek install. I just went through this when I installed a new NIC card.

Go through each entry in your device manager, right click it, and click on "Scan for changes" or something like that. Especially do that for the one with two entries.

It should automatically reinstall your sound from Microsoft's driver list. Also, if you know what model of Realtek chip it is, you can manually install the driver from the driver install panel by selected "Choose from list" and then selecting "Sound" and then selecting the Realtek model.

What concerns me is why you have 4 nvidia entries when you use a Realtek chip - did you install Nvidia chipset drivers recently? You may want to uninstall the Nvidia sound drivers through control panel, which I'm 99% confident are just chillin' there.

Hope this helps! I'm certainly not the techiest, but this is what I would do.

Profanity: Right, so I did all you suggested and this is what changed:

Doesn't recognize when headphones are plugged in.

Oh, and this: http://i.imgur.com/3oKfDqR.png
What about the other two entries? The one showing 4 entries is for your HDMI sound. Did you scan for hardware changes as was suggested?

The other two entries in the System Devices tab remain unchanged. And yes, I did scan for hardware changes.

So to recap:

Reinstalled Realtek Drivers
Uninstalled Nvidia Audio Drivers
Tried Darkplanetar's link to some microsoft software
Couldn't do a rollback because no system restore points at the moment for some reason
Checked and did everything that's needed in the services.msc Windows Audio bit
Rebooted with nothing in the sound jacks
Scanned for changes before in the middle and after everything
Didn't change my computer at all since buying it over a year ago, so no new parts
Checked bios, audio is enabled

http://i.imgur.com/aaBbvcn.png It just looks like this has too much entries, and perhaps not correctly uninstalled.

Mine looks like this; (SRS is a seperate program to improve audio)

Perhaps remove anything Realtek related, from the windows add/remove program list ?

Already tried that. Nothing really changed. So I reinstalled it back again. And I'm pretty sure that's how mine looked when it worked.

Also checked my computer papers where it lists all the components and there doesn't seem to be a soundcard, so I can only assume that's it's integrated into the motherboard.

It usually is these days, yes.

Which realtek drivers did you use to install?

darkplanetar: scan hardware changes in device manager and that go to windows updates, if he finds some driver install that

also might want to check the cables, the sound card if it's really properly inserted, check for dust also...
So finally after nothing working I've decided to just shut down the PC and open it up. Looked at the motherboard and audio bit sticking out dumbfounded. Tappped on it a little, blew out the barely visible amount of dust that was in there, turned the computer back on - suddenly it's back on track. This is mad. Thank you everyone for helping out.

Fucking Occam's razor.
