Hello there,
I have an old Asrock H61M-VG3 with a i3 2120. I found this combo for a really cheap price.
I have a problem with the on-board sound card, which doesn't output any audio nor detects it when I plug an audio jack in.
With Windows 10 compatible driver which it downloads from Windows Update, only the front panel audio ports are detected. When I install the realtek audio driver I downloaded from the Asrock website, the realtek utility application sees the back audio ports, but still nothing happens when I plug the audio jack in. No audio is output.
I checked if it worked under ubuntu too. I started the live distro, but only the front audio panel ports get detected. And sadly there's no audio either. I went to the audio properties and started the test but no audio comes through.
The speakers are fully operational. I tested them on my laptop.
I've read on other websites that quite a few people have the same problem with this chipset (not necessarily the same make - found one case with a gigabyte mobo with the same chipset).
Some solved the problem by installing the intel igpu drivers first, the discrete gpu drivers then (at the time Windows 7 was the latest os).
I tried this solution too, but there are no Win10 compatible drivers for the intel hd 2000 i can download from the intel website. I let Windows 10 download them from Windows Update, yet again, unfortunately the problem was still there.
Does anybody know by any chance if there's a solution to this? The fact that others had the same problem with the same chipset makes me think (and hope) there is a solution and that it's not just a defective motherboard
