Just a heads up for anyone that's in the Windows Insider Program. Build 17074 has messed up a lot of peoples audio/microphone functionality.
I was able to get audio playback working by just installing audio drivers for my MOBO.
The microphone is completely broke. Microsoft if aware of this problem. Bug Fixes & Known Issues. (https://mspoweruser.com/bug-fixes-and-known-issues-in-windows-10-build-17074-for-pc/)

I don't believe this issue is related to yours, as this bug completely disables any audio input (Mic/Line Input) within Windows. It also breaks the camera as well.
Microsoft are working on a fix.
For Anyone having the problem of your audio inputs/camera being disabled in Windows, Microsoft released a work around that is working for now.
"Note: This is only for folks using Windows Insider Preview Build 17074 and are having their audio inputs not being detected by Windows".
Run an elevated command prompt/powershell and type reg.exe add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\microphone /v Value /d Allow /f
You may simply copy the blue text above and paste it into an elevated command prompt/powershell.
I have tested this on Build 17074.1002 that was released yesterday and it instantly fixed my Mic/Line-Input issue.
Source (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/01/11/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-17074-pc/) of temporary fix. Scroll all the way down to Known Issues.
