I have my desktop hooked up to a hdmi to dvi cable and a pair of speakers that use to run seperate of the display. However when i cleaned my system the sound keeps wanting to go through the HDMI cord but cant, my question is there a way to make it come through the speakers by default or not?
 
Solution
Mine are just the ones from gigabyte(and old).

You can try one of the two that they have over on the Asus website(it comes with drivers and software in one package).

It is trying to go through my Radeon card not my motherboard audio. The sound when tested goes and no sound comes out, all other options are disabled and wont sense the speakers (which was the setting it was on last time).
 
Have you installed the latest audio drivers from your motherboard makers website? The default Windows ones are not always that great.

I only mentioned Win8 because it has a slightly different search(3 categories) vs 7 and Vista(and Vista gets almost no support).

Yes latest version the problem is...is that my video (catalyst) wants to run the audio through the hdmi, and locks out the options to switch between audio with windows. The speakers are plugged in and even if I unplug the HDMI and replace it with a HDMI to DVI it still wants to go through the HDMI for sound even though it knows it isn't supports. It's acting like there are no speakers connected at all, which clearly there are.
 
That is the strange thing. I have AMD and Nvidia systems that do not seem to have any issues working with onboard.

You can use the device manager to disable the AMD HD Audio if you think it will help(I have never had to actually disable it, but I do sometimes for the hell of it).
 
I will remove the solution selection then, because with it like that, users may not be keeping an eye on this.

Does the realtek audio panel see anything as connected either?

They should become solid when detected.

The other thing though (I don't know how much this matters) is that I am only using a single line out into my speakers (just the green plug in - center is what I think they call it), and they worked fine, but I was actually curious since I would want to use this same method on my stereo someday, for the bass effect.
 
Do you have the realtek panel? I want to know what it is detecting.

I have never had the vision control center take over like that(Mine have always been Catalyst Control center as well).

As for just green, that is fine. With the Realtek panel you can even make ALL of the plugs as just stereo output. Multi-room audio for cheap.

Nope the only thing I have installed is that and the Realtek sound driver, no panel.

No last time i didn't install everything on the CD, this time i did, and it didn't install the drivers off the motherboard, they installed them via the install of windows. Also after the fact when I installed my graphics CD (Sapphire Radeon 7950) it forced it to take control of my audio as well. My model number of the board is an ASUS Sabertooth 990 FX r2.0

Mine is actually newer then the one you have posted (as a matter of fact it is only a couple minutes old) I just reinstalled the latest one from the ASUS site a couple of minutes ago.

Also I'm not sure why but it shows multiple drivers for the sound.

The other one is most likely for the video card's sound. That is the one I was saying to try to disable before :)

Your drivers are newer. Mine are from a system built years back(never updated them).

This is very strange that it would not detect your speaker connected. I have never seen this outside of having basic Windows drivers, but with the ones from the Asus site you should have everything you need.

For the hell of it, try connecting the speakers to the BLACK jack on the sound card and see if it does anything.

If you swap from HDMI to DVI or another connector, does the audio work?

Do you have a folder c : \ program files \ realtek \ audio \ hda \ with a RAVCPL64.exe? That should be the control panel I was using. It downloaded your drivers and it is a part of the package for sure.

Tried disabling the High Defination Audio. Lost audio via the TV :) however then it wouldn't pick up the speakers. When I use a HDMI to DVI (which I have) it says no audio and won't play through anything. However now the speakers show up and they won't play though anything. So I re-enabled it and left it alone. I have no idea what to do from here. It keeps wanting to go out through my video card.
