This seems to be a rather common problem. Unfortunately, I've had little luck attempting to solve it.
I relatively recently assembled a new computer. I did a lot of research to make sure I was getting the absolute best I could for my money, and as a professional musician a strong sound card was of utmost importance. So, I got the ASUS Xonor Essence STX, and I had a Computer Science major friend helped me assemble it.
Unfortunately, I seem to have encountered this issue. Even though my Windows Sound Applet as well as the Xonar GUI seem recognize an outgoing signal, I don't seem to be able to get sound to come out of my speakers. I'm currently using analog and I've tried using a Y-Cable to attach directly to the Front speaker as well as using two Y-Cables to attack to the Front and Central speakers.
I have ensured that the sound output from both my On-Board Sound, as well as from my Video Card are disabled, and I uninstalled and reinstalled the Xonar drivers while both other sound outputs were disabled. The only recognized sound devices currently are both associated with the Xonar.
I have no idea what else to try, hoping someone else has some ideas. Thanks!
