    Do you mean you can't uninstall the bad driver's and then just reinstall them?

    What OS are you using?
    Is this an OEM PC? (Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.) Post the model, if it is.

    You have Realtek HD and that can be a bugger to uninstall.
    These next steps should unload the driver and get it to uninstall, then install fully.

    Reboot into your BIOS and disable the onboard audio.
    Boot into Safe Mode and go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Realtek audio drivers.
    Reboot back into safe mode. Go to Device Manager, in the menu (at top), select View/Show Hidden Devices and delete any of the Audio/Multimedia devices.
    Reboot back to safe mode. Make sure the devices aren't listed.
    Reboot again to BIOS and enable the onboard audio.
    Boot into Windows and cancel the Hardware Wizard.

    Now install your chipset driver:

    Install your audio:
