So today I installed iobits Advanced System Care and used their driver booster function to update my old drivers. After I rebooted I got this (ugh, never do that again)

Anyway, system restore is out of the game since I don't have any restore points (again, never do that) so I tried uninstalling all sound devices and let windows find drivers for them with no results, then I tried installing drivers from the manufacturers web site, again nothing. Here's what it looks like in device manager.

And this is what control panel - sounds looks like

Also, this is what driver booster suggests installing as a sound driver. As I said I deleted the drivers that this app installed and put some default ones, any ideas here?

Also, for some reason the forum won't display light-shot taken screenshots, so I'm just leaving the links here.
I've checked some of the older threads with the seemingly same issue, but didn't find anything of use there.
