I recently decided to pair my 1080Ti GPU with my AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU.
The 1080Ti GPU was in one PC & the Ryzen CPU was in a separate PC.
I added the ROG STRIX B450-F Motherboard & Ryzen 5 2600 CPU to my regular daily desktop case along with (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 RAM Modules.
I kept the same Storage from the previous build I had in this case along with the Power Supply (WD 1 TB + Crucial 240 GB SSD + Corsair 750W PSU).
The Storage included my Windows 10 Pro along with all of my files from the daily Desktop that I use.
I then added the 1080Ti GPU & connected everything.
Once booted, everything seemed fine.
Everything showed on device manager, PC ran smoothly.
The only issue I have is that I can't get any Headphones, Earbuds, device etc. (connected via AUX cable) to output sound via Rear OR Front I/O ports.
This PC USED to consist of :
CPU - Ryzen 5 2600 ( same CPU )
GPU - VEGA 64 Frontier ( different GPU )
RAM - 8GB ( different RAM module(s) )
PSU - a separate 750W (different PSU )
HDD - a separate HDD ( different Storage )
Motherboard - Asus MAXIMUS IX HERO ( Same Motherboard )
When running the specs listed above, audio output perfectly fine to multiple headphones, earbuds, devices, etc.
I've TRIED:
-Using different headphones. NONE output on the newly built PC, but ALL headphones are functional on other PC's.
-Updating / Removing / Updating Drivers (I/O drivers, Realtek Audio, Motherboard Chipset, Motherboard Audio)
-Updating / Removing / Updating Drivers via Driver Easy & Driver Store Explorer (programs that are used to help easily install drivers)
-Testing audio output in Safe Mode (no output)
-Setting the Headphones as Default Device
-Disabling / Reenabling Headphones
-Uninstalling all Audio inputs & outputs + rebooting
-Uninstalling all Sound, Video, & Game Controllers + rebooting
-Ensuring Volume Mixer volume is turned up
-Ensuring Headphones is selected in Sound Settings & turned up
-Ensuring all levels are turned up in Headphones' Speaker Properties
-Ensuring Spatial Sound Format is off in Headphone' Speaker Properties
NOTE:
-Republic of Gamers (Interface) SHOWS that my I/O ports ARE in fact being used. Verified by them being highlighted when I plug in my headphones on ROG Interface.
-Windows' Sound Settings SHOWS that audio is playing via Master Volume Bar (as I play music, the bar moves up etc.)
-I can output Audio through my monitor just fine (via 1080Ti GPU)
SPECS for the newly built PC that I am FAILING to get Audio to output on:
Operating System
-Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
-AMD Ryzen 5 2600
Memory
-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory
Motherboard
-ASUSTeK ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING (AM4)
Video Card
-MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB Founders Edition Video Card
Storage
-Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
-Crucial M500 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Power Supply
-Corsair CXM 750 W 80+ Bronze
I apologize if this is in the wrong thread, as I am newly registered to Tom's Hardware. Thank you so much in advance for any feedback. This issue has been bugging me so bad, & I am dying to resolve the issue!!
Update
-Fresh Install of Windows did not work
-I am able to ALSO output audio via Bluetooth headset
