deinstalled my audio driver bc of troubles, now I can't get it back (Surface pro 11)

Hello fellows,

I have a Surface pro 11 with windows 11.

Earlier this day I realized that my microphone hardware isn't found on my device.

First I got the idea by opening the audio recorder app, where it said that no microphone found.

Then I visited settings > privacy > microphone > already turned

Then driver manager > show hidden devices > audio in- & output > Realtek \[sth idk\] microphone > uptade (didn't change anything bc there are no new drivers or sth found idk) > deinstall ...

/google and some forums said it will re-intsall automatically after restarting the device. Never happened. I went to the official windows site ( [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=106119](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=106119) ) picked my device and installed that driver.

Restarted, and still no change and no microphone.

Is there anything I can do, like instide the bios or sth?
