Realtek HD Audio Manager Taskbar Icon Missing
Everything was fine until I uninstalled Realtek audio driver and installed an updated version from the official website. After installation, the icon does not show in the taskbar and since I am unable to launch the program. I must admit that I installed a couple of other audio programs (FXsound, Equalizer APO, Room EQ Wizard) and then later uninstalled all of them. This must have made some changes to my system. I have tried to uninstall and re-install the Realtek drivers about 3 times to no success. However, I am able to hear the audio properly (as though Realtek was installed and working). Moreover, I also see the equalizer, bass boost, Normalize Volume, etc options in Windows Sound Properties (see screenshot). These same options used to be in Realtek.
I am running Windows 7 (32 bit). Please help.
