I built this pc a few months ago
My PC uses Windows 8, and has a MSI 970 A motherboard.
I have been trying to use both speakers and headphones on my computer for awhile now to no avail but I have not had much luck. When I plug headphones or speakers in, Realtek detects them, but I still get no sound through any of the jacks (front and rear). I have installed the newest Realtek driver/software but still no luck. Can someone please help me!
Also, I use an HDMI monitor for my main display and sound plays from the television fine, but I now have some speakers that I can't use because of this problem.
