The sound on my computer quit working a couple of days ago. So I did some checking...
Device Manager says the RealTek HD Audio device is working properly. A check of Asus site (MB mfg) confirms the driver is current.
The audio device manager in the control panel (Hardware and Sound>Sound>Manage Audio Devices) shows Realtek is the default device and the sound meter indicates proper activity when audio is played.
Clicking the Realtek icon in the SYS Tray allows changing the audio parameters and is unmuted.
The (amplified) speaker system works when plugged into any sound source except computer.
Got out an old speaker set; they work with all but computer.
Neither front nor rear outputs on computer send sound to any device I hooked up.
So, where the heck is my sound going? since it surely isn't going to the output jacks??
