Run the driver download again. It seems that the first run only removes the
older drivers and then the second run will install the newer drivers.

I always manually uninstall the older drivers, including deleting driver files,
and uninstall the Realtek Audio Manager in Programs and Features first, reboot,
and then install the newer drivers and have never had a problem.
