I've recently done an upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10. Part of that upgrade came after I got an Oculus Rift. The audio for the rift presumably comes through USB or HDMI. I've recently decided to add bass shakers to my gaming experience. I've installed a new Sound Blaster Audigy Rx 7.1 surround sound card, but in order to take advantage of it I'm told it can't be my default audio source.
So I'm scratching my head thinking well what about the onboard sound on my motherboard? I never thought to install the drivers for it after I reformatted. I went to the ASRock website and downloaded the Realtek HD 7560 drivers. (http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/index.us.asp?cat=Download&os=Win10) and installed them. I still can't find the realtek device anywhere in device manager or when I go to hardware and manage sound.
Incidentally I went ahead and tried plugging in a pair of headphones to the front audio port on my PC. I got nothing. Same with the back. This makes sense since I'm not seeing the audio device anywhere. I pulled out the original CD that came with my motherboard and I don't believe that will be much help. There are some compability modes that seem to need to run just to use it.
I looked for sound in the bios but couldn't find it anywhere. Someone else said when they installed a new sound card that it disabled the onboard sound. I believe that may be my issue as well, but I can't find where I re-enable it so that both are enabled simultaneously.
