Realtek HD Audio conflicting with Steam Client Bootstrapper

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a HP Envy 15T 2in1 PC. I tried to install Steam and quickly discovered that the steam client bootstrapper would fail to launch. In task manager, it would appear for maybe half a second and immediently cancel itself without sending any error reports. I ran my computer in safe mode w/ network and steam was able to launch. After doing a clean boot of the whole computer and multiple attempts at reinstalling the steam client, I discovered that when I disabled Windows Audio in Services my steam was able to load up and I was able to load some games with no issue. Well no issue except my computer cannot run audio AT ALL. Needless to say, I searched in my drivers and found that the issue lied in Realtek High Definition Audio. Whenever this is disabled, everything works great minus no audio, but whenever it is enabled my steam client cannot even launch. It says updating Steam- verifying update and then closes out immediently. So I find myself at rock and a hard place.

Thanks for taking your time to read this!

Have you got any other audio driver that could possibly be conflicting with the realtek hd audio?

The only other audio driver is Intel(R) Display Audio.
