Hello and a wonderful new year.

I solved my first problem where I got an error code when installing the realtek HD audio driver from my cd which came with my motherboard by installing it directly from the realtek website.

Now realtek HD audio is installed but it isn't playing any sound through my speakers. It says in my playback device that my speakers are playing but I hear no sound at all.

I tried all the basic solutions found on youtube and such. For example deleting and restalling drivers, changing Hz, ...

Any help would be great!

Thanks !

Are you using Windows 10? If so, single click on the speaker icon in the taskbar system tray (bottom right of screen). A small window will pop up above it with the name of the output device and the volume. Click the name to change the default output device.

Update:

I found a solution but it's not the best. I have 2 audio devices: a logitech g430 and a bose speaker.
I just uninstalled realtek and my speaker will play although I think it will be in less quality. My headphones also work and I have stereo there because logitech have their own drivers.

If anyone still has a solution you are free to give them though.
