Ok so i just built a new pc and i have no sound. Everythings plugged in correctly and i have the latest driver. The problem is that win 7 is telling me "no audio device plugged in". So i look at the driver and under jack information the only option its giving me is hdmi. The moniter uses dvi and i cant get sound out of my audio jacks. Lord if you listenin... HEEEEEEELP!
 
Solution
I ain't no Lord but, no, Realtek CODEC chip has nothing to do with HDMI sound, it's transmitted as digital thru GPU.
If you want sound (analog) from Realtek and sound jacks, you have to install Realtek drivers.
