Alright so I am running win 7 64 on an MSI G-45 Z77 board with an nvidia 560ti and a 460ti for physics ( I know not necessary). Anyway, the MSI board comes with on board audio from Realtek, After doing a clean install of windows I no longer had audio from my front ports or my rear ports. Yes, all drivers are up to date and running and yes my on-board audio is enabled in my BIOS. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling audio and video drivers as well as enabling and disabling on board audio. The headphones I am using have two 3.5mm plugs (one for audio and the other for a microphone) along with usb for power. Neither the headphones or the microphone show up in the audio manager. However, when using a USB only pair of headphones the audio works like a charm.
Any ideas?
