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. However, the ASUS Realtek HD Audio Manager can control your PC’s audio adapters. I've uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of Realtek drivers and nothing helped. What does ASUS Realtek HD Audio Manager do Downloading the app will allow you to customize your audio experience further, but it is not required to connect to new speakers or use the sounds provided by your computer system. I believe it could be that I updated Windows after the initial installation because I could see the speaker icon in Taskbar before that. 1 Realtek HD audio recognizes my headphones as speakers Hello When I plug in my headphones to the back of my computer where my onboard soundcard is located, it seems that realtek detects my headphones as speakers, and as a consequence, the volume is way too low. 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.
