As it states I have no audio from the front or rear I/O.
About a year ago I had to re-install windows 7 64 bit because my hard drive decided to
breathe its last breath. So, I order me a fancy new SSD and re-installed windows. Boot it up,
installed all the necessary drivers for my motherboard, gpu and the lot. Sound was being emitted
via the gpu to my monitor so I thought "yay no complications, fantastic". Then I tried plugging in
my headset and... nothing. They are usb powered but use 3.5mm for audio so i could tell that
they were on (the ambient static) but no sound was coming through. I tried the rear ports, nada.
Double and triple checked realtek and my default devices in Windows Audio Manager and all
looked fine. My PC detects when something is plugged in, Windows Audio Manager displays the
sound meter rising and falling so it is outputing sounds, I've tried disabling all of the Nvidia sound
options in the Device Manager as well as in the Windows Audio Manager. I have uninstalled/re-
installed the realtek drivers a million times and made sure all my chipset drivers are up to date as
well as my bios. I about one or two more attempts from blowing my brains on the wall behind me
so please if you have any help that would be fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to read what
probably qualifies as a short story and thank you for the vast knowledge of the internet hopefully
coming to my rescue.
