Hi all.. I just bought a new gaming pc last week. Up until now it's been running beautifully. However there seems to be a problem with the sound.
I usually run my speakers to the front audio jack as the monitor speakers are rubbish. This had worked until today when it decided not to recognize the jack and instead play sounds through the monitor. I have windows 8 and it comes with Realtek HD Audio Manager. So what happens now is that I plug in my speakers and the information box appears which allows you to select the type of input you can use, either the speakers or monitor. Except the speakers are not an option. I did manage to change the default format and it seemed to work for a bit. But now it just refuses to play ball. Even my headhones don't work in the front port. It's weird because it just happened all of a sudden.
Any ideas? I'm thinking it must be a driver or something. That or a cable issue. Anyone else having problems?
Thanks!
