asus realtek hd audio manager headphones not working

Just be prepared to remember passwords and reinstall programs and games.Įdit # 2 3: System restore has worked temporarily for someone, but i guess broke again with the same update. I chose to keep my files/account information. If anyone finds a real fix for the issue with realtek or something fixes it in an update, please let me know :)Įdit* I decided to just reinstall Windows, this fixed the issue. It is reversible, with a restart and Dolby Atmos seems to work regardless including it's volume boost as well. This will fix your audio BUT will seperate your tweeters from the downfacing speakers, and i haven't figured out how to make them work in concert with each other. Top of the list should be High Definition Audio Device. In the Driver tab, click Update Driver, from there choose Browse my computer for drivers, then choose Let me pick from available on this computer. From there, right click on Realtek(R) Audio and then select Properties. In Device Manager, go to Sound,Video and Game Controllers. I have found a 'fix' that will get you audio, though it won't fix realtek or whatevers causing the issue. No sound is played while using the realtek drivers, as in it gives an error message rather than plays any audio, whether it be videos, playing test tones etc using both speakers and headphones. This is not a hardware Issue, but I've found no solution in the drivers or software so far involving realtek. I'm not alone with this issue, I've seen two other posts, at least 3 people with this issue so far. New Potential fix (no reinstall required, thanks u/Atihu)Īs of today, My speakers stopped working. In Device Manager it only shows 'High Definition Audio Device' and in PC Settings > Sound it actually lists my monitor ROG PG279Q which doesn't even have speakers and is connected to the GPU through Display Port.Multiple reports of the sound troubleshooter now fixing the problem, please try it first I've uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of Realtek drivers and nothing helped.

I believe it could be that I updated Windows after the initial installation because I could see the speaker icon in Taskbar before that. I've installed Realtek drivers from Asus website and it wasn't showing up in Device Manager.Īt first I thought it was because I installed Nvidia HD Audio software but nothing changed even after I wiped everything with DDU and reinstalled without it. So I finally ditched my old i7 4790K and Windows 7 and upgraded to R7 3700X and Windows 10 Pro 21H2īut since I installed Windows 10 I have not been able to get sound working.
