Accurate only at the present time & subject to change.

As far as I know, v6.0.9326.1 from 15th March 2022 is the last released RT HDA driver for all (generic).
Where did you get that HDA generic 6.0.9844.1? Link? 

HDA: 6.0.9844 (all OEM)::  www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=6.0.9844.1%20

UAD: Realtek UAD Driver 6.0.9764.1 WHQL...MS Update all OEM
www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=6.0.9764.1
DriverVer= 11/26/2024, 6.0.9764.1  

Note: As a starting point for Realtek, go to your motherboard maker's support site & use the Realtek audio driver listed there. 
Then use the Driver Max (or Driver Genius) free edition to check for the latest avaiable Realtek drivers. Driver Genius only allows
one driver update per day & only for 5 days after software installation. But it's still useful for cleaning out old driver versions, which
(in the case of GPU drivers) can amount to over one gigabyte of useless driver software remnants.

but 6.0.9326.1 HDA FF00 is NOT Microsoft WHQL certified, SM-003!  that one was "signed" by Realtek only and not "co-signed" by MS.
6.0.9273.1 HDA x64 is the very last MS WHQL certified version.

it's recently 6.0.9847.1 from MS instead of 6.0.9844.1 (unless MS decides to release a new version coming by end of July or by start of August)


edit 7/29 -  DriverHub recently has a copy of the 6.0.9862.1 hdxmsi.inf codec driver download in the "Realtek Audio" section of the linked page I mentioned
                 {click on the "Download driver" link from that page to download it from the DriverHub site - available for a few months (limited time) until mid/late Sept. 2025
                  when it's replaced by a new version by then}
