I had the same problem most of you have or had. Now you will get the Windows driver and it wont reinstall the Realtek driver.Hey guys, I was actually reading all your comments in hopes of finding a solution myself. Open properties, go to the driver tab and click on “Roll Back Driver…”. There you will see that your audio device is a Realtek device again. To stop that you can open the device manager and open the “Sound, video and game controllers” list (not “Audio inputs and outputs”, there it doesn’t work). The problem is that Windows 10 reinstalls the Realtek driver automatically (in the background without asking no less…). Update: this stopped working after I rebooted.
I wonder if Microsoft ships that, or if I didn’t uninstall that driver when I uninstalled the Realtek Audio Manager? But Sound tells me that there’s also a RealTek Controller which a RealTek Driver 6. Device Manager tells me stuff is being managed by Microsoft’s Driver 3.0, which I think is just Windows 10. I’m still confused about what drivers are involved. There’s also a notion of a “Communications device” separate from the usual default, I think for VOIP apps like Skype to use a headset always. But some apps let you choose a specific output device, particularly games, and you can use that to play different sounds simultaneously through different apps. Most apps just play to the “Default App”, which you configure in the Sound control panel or with a program like SoundSwitch. Each sound device is an independent output channel for apps to play to. While I’m here, a little theory on how this all works in Windows. I did have to unplug and re-plug the devices for Windows to detect them, but now my speakers and headphones show up as separate sound devices. Turns out Windows 10 itself can manage the audio hardware with no problems.
Goodbye 500 MB of stupid reverb effects I’ll never use. But my version didn’t have those settings, no “Playback Device” section at all.įollowing some cargo cult advice I solved this problem by just uninstalling Realtek entirely. In theory the Realtek driver has option settings to reconfigure this behavior, to let you use the rear and front jacks as separate devices. In fact both analog outputs show up as a single “Speaker” device in Windows, there’s no way to use them independently. Unfortunately it also seems to have a behavior where when I plug in headphones it automatically silences the speakers. This does a nice job of popping up a dialog when the user plugs in new speakers and asking them to configure it. It’s a pretty standard Windows desktop setup, the motherboard does HD Audio which has 5 analog jacks which can be programmed to do different things like speakers, headphones, line-in.Īlso pretty standard, my computer had the RealTek HD Audio Manager installed, an ASUS skinned one. I have both headphones and speakers plugged into my motherboard’s analog output jacks.
