Question Speakers not working but headset do

lir2150 · Apr 2, 2019

Hi everyone, since I changed my motherboard I've not been able to make my speakers work, although my headset do.
A few thing to have in mind:

The new motherboard is a ASUS Rog Maximus X Formula
The speakers are connected to the rear speakers jack (the black one).
They used to work before changing the motherboard and nothing happened to them physically.
They are stock speakers, nothing worth mentioning about them.
My headset is a Razer Kraken Pro, it brings a mic and line out connector which are connected to the rear jacks (the headset works fine)
I did make a new instalation of Windows in an SSD and I'm currently using this one as my predetermined OS device.
I tried updating my audio drivers and didn't work.
I tried changing the jack configuration with the Realtek Audio Console but nothing changed, although it recognises the jack as connected or in use
Even though no sound comes from the speakers, when I touch the connector with my finger I can listen the static coming out of them.

I'm kinda running out of options here.

Thanks in advance.

To get your speakers as one of the output sources, you need to select them via sound control panel. Here's small tutorial on how to do it,
