Hi,
This is another of those "mixer works but no sound" issues, except nothing seems to fix it. The sound has never worked.
I have very recently built my own beasty computer with i7, 16GB ram, 2TB HD, 128GB SSD, Formula VI MoBo and a GTX 770 4GB Classified graphics card.
I have installed the drivers from the disc, the sound didn't work. When I plug my speakers/headphones (I have tried several) into any of the sockets (tried all holes, both front and back) I get a popup confirming that the computer has detected speakers. If I play any audio (I've also tried multiple sources) I can see that the mixer is definitely registering sound.
So... I uninstalled the drivers that came with the CD and installed updated drivers from the manufacturer's website - this still didn't fix anything. So I have worked my way through many forum suggestions trying to solve this issue still with no avail. I have tried changing my default device and looked for disconnected/disabled devices. I have tried fiddling with the Realtek audio manager but the options are very limited - especially as it knows what I have plugged in and so limits the options to what actually applies to the device I'm using. Even if it didn't, I can't see any options that would fix it anyway.
Any help would be really appreciated as this is driving me slightly mad. I have considered a hardware fault but as I'm using the built in MoBo sound, I can imagine I would have more than just sound issues if this was the case?
Thank you,
Charlie
