Audio PLaying at the same time

[Kevin Deuel]

Ok so this is slightly different that the all the other posts on here, I have a low end ECS Essentials MOBO FM2+ chipset with an AMD A8 7600. when it was just that I used the default Audio Drivers for the MOBO but since I installed my Sapphire R7 260X I have realtek audio drivers now I have uninstalled the realtek drivers several time sand windows installs it again and again I generally like realtek but I can not separate the front and rear panel 3.5 jacks so I get audio from both my speakers and my headphones any suggestions

Hello... Go to Control Panel-Device manager and you can disable and enable any piece of hardware at any time.
Also go to Control Panel-Sound and you can change the Default/Active Audio device Record and Playback hardware at any time.
You can have Multiple Audio/Display/hardware installed on/in your MB... and Windows will try to load a driver for it... this is GOOD... So don't try to change this. Just use you mouse to change settings and Active hardware on the FLY, for your different projects/program needs.

You must "Disable" the Realtek/hardware in your MB BIO's (save & exit) if you do not want Windows to load a driver for it... But Why? When you can turn it off and on in Windows with your mouse.

ok so checking in the Device Manager the only Audio Playback device listed is Speakers (Back Panel) I at the same time have my headphones connected, the front and back panel 3.5mm jacks are being read simultaneously and as such being fed audio at the same time, The Realtek HD Audio Manager does not provide an option to separate the Audio streams so for instance if the headphones are connected to the front panel 3.5mm the speakers connected to the rear panel would cut out. could this possible be due to a crossed connection in the MOBO it is a ECS A58F2P-M4 my previous MOBO on my old computer was an ASUS M599X EVO AM3+ chipset using as well Realtek and everytime I connected my headphones it said hey you connected head phones would you like to switch and upon clicking yes rear panel cut out and audio fed only through the headphones, here is another cup of tea apart from the UI/UX being completely different Advanced Option are not present anywhere the driver does not detect headphones it reads both front and rear connections as speakers that need to play simultaneously. Another strange thing here is that on the ECS website the drive for audio is labeled as VIA HD Audio Driver but since I installed a Sapphire R7 260x OC the audio driver switched to realtek for the HDMI Audio Out feature included with the graphics card prior to that I was using what seemed to be the default windows audio driver which detected headphones and speakers separately though I need to to manually switch between them I still could switch and now I cant hopefully this sheds more light on my problem to help you help me a little bit more. (sorry for the run on sentence getting ready for work and typing)

Hello... Did you try a different Software/APP Version? 6.0.1.6662 is a Older Realtek version that works best for me.
