I have recently installed my new mainboard ASrock 980DE3/U3S3 R2.0.
Everything seems to work out fine, except for the sound.
I have installed different drivers, each should be the correct drivers for the mainboard/the soundchip onboard. After trying a number of things, I have no idea what to do, but to ask in this forum. The onboard soundcard is a Realtek ALC662.
I have already reinstalled Windows 8.1, then installed Windows 10, Windows 7 and finally Windows 10 again (clean install). On every installation, I have installed the driver for my own mainboard and also the driver for my specific onboard sound card (the drivers were probably the same, but the one I downloaded from asrock.com and the other I downloaded from Realtek directly).
Here is the interesting thing: I installed a hard drive with a linux distribution (KDE Neon) ready to boot and on this system, the sound worked correctly, aswell as the microphone.
Everytime I installed Windows or reinstalled the audio drivers, a sound device named Digital Audio (S/PDIF), which obviously doesn't work, appeared.
The device manager shows Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus without any warning. When sorting after "Resources by type" and under IRQs, it shows a "High Definition Audio Controller" at IRQ16 (along with two Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controllers) and at IRQ19 there is another "High Definition Audio Controller" with a "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller". We suspected an IRQ conflict, but this is probably not the case.
There is another Audio device "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" which is irrelevant, since I am not using HDMI and as such it is unusable for me.
I have spent two days almost exclusively working on fixing that and thinking of all different kinds of causes, but I am unable to fix the problem. The fact that it works under Linux is peculiar and basically proves, that the onboard sound of my mainboard is working.
Hope I have provided enough information about my problem.
Thanks in advance!
