on-board sound issues

[computertech82]

Got a new gigabyte z87 motherboard. Installed drivers, sound card acts like it's working, the realtek program detects things being plugged in. But no sound. If it max out the volume, i get a static type sound for any sound. Cannot actually hear the sound, only a static noise. Tried newest driver from gigabyte and realtek, no change. The volume bar will show like it's playing a sound.

I have seen ALOT of post on this very issue, but no solution. Any ideas? Or just a bad on-board sound card?

Make sure windows sound and realteck control panel that all your outputs are mutted. With some video cards and there newer drivers the hdmi audio is being set as main output for sound.loom under windows sound main output device. The realteck speakers should be installed and the green check mark on them.

The realtek driver (not digital) is the default output. No hdmi audio. Like i said, the sound control panel reacts. using the green port (audio out). just no sound, except static like sound at max volume when a sound is played.

Make sure windows as nt mutted all te outputs or set the front speaker ports as main output.

ALL ports are inputs, only one is output (unless you include digital). realtek only allows one of the 2 outputs to be used, and it auto detects which is being used.

Try older drivers.

I tried the original drivers, the newest drivers from gigabyte, and the newest drivers from realtek. None of them worked. all react the exact same way.
