(HELP )Steam Streaming Speakers had replaced my audio devices

[Gum Kuzzler 2]

So I just started my laptop like I do every day but today it decided to not play any audio which I found was odd. Then I checked, it was on Steam Streaming Speakers, from what I found it was related to Steam Link which I don't have. Other than that, I couldn't switch to my normal Realtek audio devices. I've tried many things and ultimately did a hard reset on my PC and when I started it up, guess what? It's Steam Streaming Speakers once again!!! At this point, I have no idea what to do.

I've got the same problem and until 20 minutes ago I was reading this post. I want to post a solution for all the users that have the same issue.

How to remove the Steam Streaming Speakers/Microphone

1. Go to Sound Settings
2. Disable the "Steam Streaming Speakers" (SSS in short)
3. Right Click on SSS and click on properties
4. Once it's open click on the "Properties" inside the "Controller information" box
5. Near the bottom left corner there's a button called "Change settings" that requires Administrative rights... click it
6. Once the properties window refreshes go to Driver Tab
7. Click on "Uninstall Device"
8. Click again on the uninstall button once the new window appear.

Warning: Don't check on "Delete the driver software for this device" or you'll uninstall Steam as well.
Once it's uninstalled close all properties windows and you're done. No device shown anymore. And no device switch is performed automatically anymore. Have fun :)

I’ve already tried this but sadly it hasn’t fixed it.
