Hello, recently built a new computer and the Realtek driver came with the new "RealTek Audio Console" instead of the old one where you had loads of options like separating the front and rear audio.
Whenever I plug in my speakers on the front of my case it takes over the audio from my headset plugged in at the rear.
It seems they are merged in playback devices.
Motherboard: MSI MEG Z390 ACE with Realtek® ALC1220 Codec Version 6.0.1.8642
Is there any way of fixing this?
Can I do it some other way or can I get the old Realtek manager somehow?

Hmm ok

Try https://www.realtek.com/en/componen...-codecs-high-definition-audio-codecs-software

Then if that doesn't work

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=6.0.1.8397

Try one of these Win10 137.6MB size cab files (installer inside). People have said they've brought audio manager back in Win10 from update catalog, not sure which one, i suppose any of the 137.6mb size files, i guess it's large enough to contain audio manager.
I can´t seem to find any setup or installer. There are many .exe
EDIT: Tried updating Realtek through the Device manager with the cab file but no difference even after it said it was successfully installed.

Coming from Google, update your MSI Realtek Audio Console, open Gear menu top right, switch to Make Front and Read output devices two separate streams.
