For whatever reason, this changes the 'HD Audio 2nd output' to 'Mic in at front panel (pink)' which was not visible before. (ie front panel headphone jack) then do as described above - click the yellow folder in Realtek HD audio Manager and check disable front panel jack detection). If you are able to get the above screen with both 'Speakers' and the 'HD Audio 2nd output' tabs. You won't have any sound in MW II and some other games. Sound options but in some of them you cannot (MW II)īTW if you don't set anything as Default in Realtek Audio Manager Onto different outputs as I'm typing this post.įor some games you can choose the output too (Black Ops) in game Such as audoi- and video-players, where you can change output toĪs a result my Foobar2000 (audio) and MPC (video) are playing

If you choose the other option in Advanced, you will have only one streamĪnd now you have multiple choice for output in popular applications Make Front and Rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously. If you can't see that Tab, go to Device Advanced Settings and change it to In Realtek Audio Manager (but keep Speakers tab as default output). Settings and change Front Panel Type from HD Audio to AC97Īfter restarting you have now Tab called HD Audio 2nd output Specs are as follows: GIGABYTE Z690 AERO G LGA 1700 Intel Z690 Intel Core i5-12400F EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5, 80 Plus Gold 850W CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 GIGABYTE Eagle OC GeForce RTX 3060 MP33 M.I solved the problem with different output to the front panelĪll you need to do is to go to Onboard Devices Configuration in BIOS

1 and Realtek HD Audio Driver 5 drivers updated. I currently have the Gigabyte Realtek HD Audio Driver for DCH. I really don't want to buy another motherboard because I cant get a microphone to work. I've also swapped out different headsets, and it happens to all of them. the headset audio still works, and the mouse and keyboard still work. The microphone is the only thing I have a problem with.

I've tried a USB C docking station which will also allot it to work sometimes but then will also stop. I've gone to device manager to update everything as well. I also disabled something in the bios but I cant recall what that was. I did all of the basic checks such as permissions, usb power management, allow to take exclusive control. Sometimes while in the game, the mic starts working again. once the game is closed and reopened, the mic will come back on over time. But whenever I start any game it's hit or miss. Right away, I realized my USB HyperCloud 2 headset mic wasn't working in discord or Xbox chat while in any game.
