install realtek hd audio driver failure !! [error code : 0x00000070]

[kingdrastic1]

Yesterday my headphones randomly stopped working so today i uninstalled my realtek audio drivers and tried to reinstall. I keep getting this error. First i tried downloading from official realtek audio website but the installation gave an error.
Then i downloaded through my asus motherboard website to make sure it was compatible and i still get an error. I've tried booting into safe mode but the error persists.
Below is a picture of the error and also a picture of what my previous installation was that was working perfectly for many years.

Did the audio chip bight the dust? That's a pretty old rig and things could die anytime.

You can also probably bypass the problem with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Exte...words=USB+audio+adapter&qid=1615357402&sr=8-3
