Issue
After reinstalling windows 10 home edition my system sounds stopped working. I downloaded and installed all my drivers already. I'm using a Gigabyte P67A UD3 motherboard. I notice my system detects something plugged into my front panel audio jack but nothing is actually in there. The volume mixer shows audio playing but there's no sound.
Troubleshooting so far:
-I've tried messing with the settings to disable front panel audio detection and not muting back speakers when headphones are plugged in... Still no sound.
-I've tried plugging in multiple headphones in both front panel jacks (microphone and headphone jack). I've unplugged the speakers which are plugged into the back end motherboard audio jack (tried multiple ports).
-I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Realtek audio driver and also installing older versions of the audio driver.
-I unplugged the HDA cord from my motherboard, tried swapping it for the AC9 cord, then back to the HDA cord (the HDA plug comes from the front panel of my Antec case).
Any other ideas? I wonder if my front panel audio jack is broken and causing the detection error. However, even when the front panel audio cord is unplugged, windows still detects something plugged into the front panel.
Thanks in advance!
