Question No Sound from rear audio port

[Strangeclouds1793]

No Sound from rear audio port. new Motherboard, Drivers are updated. I can get audio from the front panel but not the back.
I reinstalled windows, its OEM. I have the RealTek USB audio driver, it is shown in device manager. im not sure if that really is the right driver thou, its the one windows and asus recommanded. I remember my old MOBO using something like realtek HD audio driver or something.

We're going to need more information.

Pleas list your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

since you mentioned "new", if the build is an upgrade to a previous machine, please parse two sets of specs. One which is prior setup and one which is current setup. If any upgrade, did you reinstall the OS? Can you check and see what BIOS version you're currently on for your motherboard?

Also include the audio equipment used.

I have the same motherboard. Have you selected the Sound option in the Control Panel and made sure that the output port you want is Enabled and selected as the Default Device? Also, if you are planning on using the spdif optical output, make sure you update the Realtek ALC4080 chip using the firmware update ASUS released on May 26th.
