Realtek is killed by accident
I had realtek working on rear audio but not front.
I thought I had connected front jack and mic to wrong audio port so I connected them to a 16-1 pin header labelled HD audio
power on I lost realtek icon at right lower corner
PC has no audio at rear any more
no error in dev mgr
I tried a clean OS reinstall
reinstalled realtek driver
no audio
I think the experimental connection of front cable has killed the audio chip realtek for good.
lesson learnt second time
when audio chip is fried, it passes way without adieu and error
it is like it never existed
No Events found!

no audio device. this is what it says when realtek onboard audio chip is killed
work around: install old fashioned creative PCI sound card, which works great for both rear and front audio.
note to self : be careful experimenting with mobo header. audio chip very easy to die.

I'm sorry for your lose, at least you know what happened, lesson learned, as they say: the more you sweat in the training the less you bleed at a war :|
