realtek sound issue with windows 10 cxreator 1709 v

[Steven_96]

Hi,

I have Autism so bear with me Okay? I hope I'm posting to the right section. I have the onboard realtek sound drivers Now I noticed that there are new drivers for March 2018 and the drivers I'm using now were older ones from realteks website. And they work with my Klipsch 4.1 speakers There old I know. but they still sound great and they work, Now the motherboard that I have is a gigabyte aorus z370 gaming 7 board. and if I update the drivers from there site gigabyte they work. Now this board supports 4 speakers but not 4.1 which is what I have so does that mean that since the board only supports 4 speakers that I will not be able to use the bass on my subwoofer becaise the board does not support 4.1 sound or should I just switch to 5.1 in the speaker configuration. Now the new drivers that I downloaded for March 2018 as I stated earlier in this post were taken from a 3rd party site called station drivers and I clicked on my correct Board and all and I downloaded the drivers and Uninstalled the old drivers taken straight from realteks website. and when I installed them and restarted my computer and all that. when I got back into windows the speaker icon at the bottom of my system tray I could not click on it or right click it. I even went into the services and stopped the 2 audio services in there and restarted them and that did no good. So I went into the control panel and I clicked on sounds and right click on the realtek and when to the speaker configuration and set it to quadraphonic sound 4.1 and then click finish it says format is not supported. and it just defaults back to the 2 speaker setup. I have tried the 5.1 and the 7.1 and does no good I even tried changing jacks for the rear speakers on the back of my desktop custom build pc no good. Now the drivers work that I have taken from Gigabytes website. I have those installed now, however the speaker icon at the bottom on my taskbar still does not work. So I'm wondering why I can't update the drivers at all. I know that it's not an issue with gigabyte.

Thanks Steven

Hi Steve, like i said in your other thread, software is not the issue, it is your speakers, they are quadraphonic 4 speaker stereo set with a subwoofer.

station drivers seems to be safe but i wouldn't trust 3rd party platforms to get your drivers. Reinstall from Realtek again and leave it at that.

Use just the green and black jacks.

Set speaker configuration to quadraphonic. Try speaker fill option.

Your control pod for the speakers, turn subwoofer volume all the way up.

If you still get no subwoofer action then Windows isn't passing enough low level base through the green or black jacks for the subwoofer to work with.

Since your speakers come with 2 speaker jacks, do you know which one does the subwoofer? or is it both?

If its either jack that works with the subwoofer, use an adapter.

One end would go into the yellow jack and the other into the green or black. Set speaker configuration to 5.1.

You wont get voices in 5.1 movies or games but as you said in your other thread only listen to music.
