So i very recently build a new pc and i got MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK, now the problem i have is that when i plug my headset or speakers in L OUT (Marked Green) they work, but when i try plugging in other ones in RS-OUT or CS-OUT (Marked Blue) windows doesn't register them at all. I switch a lot from headset to speakers so it is really bothering me.
I have windows 11 64bit, headset is beyerdynamics dt770pro, and speakers are creative pebble v2. I tried going into sound settings and installing realtek but they just wont detect them

first of all,
RS means rear speaker and CS center speaker
as long as you don´t have a 5.1 or 7.1 audio source, the speaker plugged in there will be silent, stereo will always come out from the Line out

don´t you have a front panel audio out?

some realtek applications could configure if it´s mic in or line out or the rear is front or similar. Don´t know if this is still possible due to updates of how windows configures it

Thank you for explaining it, i get it now, i tried to configure mic in but i was unable to. I do have front panel audio, i was just trying to avoid using it
