Can you try to use a different driver to get your sound back, instead of the realtek? This would involve going to Start - Control panel - Sounds and Audio Devices, and for "audio" selecting a different playback device. Perhaps the realtek driver installation made a choice for you that needs to be changed back to match your hardware.

My second recommendation would be to uninstall the Realtek audio driver... if the first thing doesn't solve your problem.

- Here is Realtek's site:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/DOWNLOADS/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

In googling this, I see that there seem to be a few different ones:
Realtek AC97 audio controllers
Realtek High Definition audio drivers

Do you know which you have? Is this a laptop, or PC? If a PC is it on the motherboard, or a separate audio card? Here are some links for you below.
