audio drivers are incorrect would like to restore to 'factory' settings

Question

My mic stopped working recently. Trying to fix it made things worse. now I don't have audio. would like to at least go back to where the audio works. Here's my lspci -v

00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 9dc8 (rev 11) (prog-if 80)
    Subsystem: Lenovo Device 2292
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
    Memory at ea23c000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Memory at ea000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: snd_soc_skl
    Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_skl, sof_pci_dev

originally I didn't have the snd_soc_skl nor the sof_pci_dev

how do I remove those drivers? and use the snd_hda_intel?

Do it the same way you've made the changes, no need to reinvent the wheel. — mikewhatever, Apr 03 '20 at 23:01
if you know how to find and remove the drivers listed above, please help. otherwise your comments are unhelpful. @mikewhatever — theman0123, Apr 03 '20 at 23:08
Those are kernel modules that get loaded, probably because of what you've done while trying to fix things. I don't know what you've done, so all I can tell is undo it. How is that unhelpful? — mikewhatever, Apr 03 '20 at 23:23

The answer to this post solved my questions... blacklisting the drivers, and setting the default restored my audio.
