"repacked" 6.0.9334.1 UAD Gigabyte/Clevo driver... it just uninstalls my realtek but doesn't update or install anything for me? I tried it over 10 times on my administrator windows account :(

what version of Windows 10 are you using and what kind of Clevo or Gigabyte system do you have?
Run winver.exe to determine Win10 version & edition and run either msinfo32.exe or dxdiag.exe to gather specs of your Clevo or Gigabyte machine.

also did you check carefully that the 9334 Clevo/Gigabyte driver package was fully downloaded? (file size of the 7z package should be about 19Mb - view the contents of the whole 7z package in 7zip; there should be no files missing; otherwise close 7zip, delete the 9334 package and download it again. and when installing the new version, disconnect from the internet first (never leave an open or active internet connection while uninstalling or installing drivers as that leaves the Win10 OS to install any driver version it wants), install the driver, reboot and then re-establish the internet connection

otherwise, try different UAD Gigabyte/Clevo driver versions like either 6.0.9326.1 , 6.0.9329.1 or 6.0.9336.1 .

Unofficial Realtek UAD Generic 6.0.9338.1
Due to Realtek not providing regular updates to HDXRTU.CAT, HDXRT.inf, HDXRTSST.inf and HDX_GenericExt_RTK.inf, it wasn't possible to make a Realtek UAD Generic package for old systems that is 100% WHQL compliant. To workaround this setup installs latest generic WHQL compliant codec components (version 6.0.9275.1 for HDAUDIO devices and 6.0.9287.1 for INTELAUDIO devices) with hardware support application, audio effects and service components taken from latest version and then a force updater is used to replace the old codec components (RTKVHD64.sys and RTAIODAT.DAT) with their latest version.

Due to absence of valid and updated copies of HDXRTU.CAT, HDXRT.inf, HDXRTSST.inf and HDX_GenericExt_RTK.inf (or equivalents) new hardware IDs introduced since 6.0.8825.1 are at most partially supported and those introduced since 6.0.9276.1 for HDAUDIO and 6.0.9288.1 for INTELAUDIO are completely unsupported.

Force updater is now capable of defeating PNP lockdown protection. This is required to successfully force update from WHQL codec v6.0.9264.1 or newer. Due to force updater needing to elevate to SYSTEM to accomplish this, the elevation agent used may be blocked and/or quarantined by anti-malware software. If this happens force update fails.

This release installs Realtek Audio Control app v1.35.271.0 via store, but a newer offline installation package v1.36.273.0 is also available. Installing Realtek Audio Control app from offline package doesn't require admin rights as it installs per user like any Windows store app. Also make sure Windows is set to allow side-loading Windows store apps or installation from offline package will fail.
