I just upgraded to Windows 10. I actually had to clean my SSD because I was having issues with my Nvidia drivers.

Last time I had the exact same issue. The speakers/headphones don't output sound when they connect to the rear jack. When I connect to the front jack it works fine. Last time I found some random driver someone made and it fixed the issue.

I already tried a few drivers and I tried uninstalling drivers and using the motherboards drivers.
I forget what driver I used last time but it had the guy's name on it and I downloaded it off google. It was like "Mike's Windows 10 audio driver" or something like that. If I find it I will definitely save it this time.

Thanks.

does your motherboard have realtek drivers?

have you looked in the Realtek HD Audio manager? there is an option to make front and back channels separate for playback, its possible that would fix this?

I have the Asus M4n75td and it has VIA drivers.
I will look into Realtek drivers and Realtek HD Audio Manager though thanks.
