Realtek Crashes games?

[Kyle_James]

Hey guys, so I just recieved some speakers in the mail replacing my old PC speakers that worked fine, I just wanted more base.
After I plugged them in (green jack) I got a Realtek notification that popped up and they just worked. I restarted my PC and noticed my Media Library disappeared
after I managed to fix that, I used a single black Headphone style jack to replace the flimsy one that came with it. Plugged it into the green L&R output, but the actual input was a black phone jack.
I went on to play GTAV and it locked up and crashed. Tried it again, and it did the same thing. I went back to the green jack and left it on for over an hour and it didnt crash. Would an audio jack issue crash a whole game?
Seemed weird as I was having no issues, Hooked up some new speakers and then there were issues.
I switched back to my old speakers and ran some benchmarks and everything seems ok as of now, but I am still getting this pop up to disable realtek audio enhancements everytime I go to manage audio devices.
Any thoughts?

Figured it out, Realtek and Nvidia sound drivers were battling each other. If this happens to someone, disable all the Nvidia HDMI out audio, if you are running through the mobo. I also uninstalled the Realtek drivers and downloaded the latest.
