Speakers won't work

[thomas98]

So I just installed a gtx 970 and installed the drivers for that and now my speakers won't work. When I plug my headphones into my speakers, I can hear an extremely faint buzz but that's it. the speakers are Logitech z200's. Thanks in advance.

uninstall nvidia sound in add/remove programs. reboot and under sound device set realtech speakers as default.

check sound output in sound settings, make sure youre plugging in to the right output and not using digital /HDMI output.

Could you please walk me through how to set realtech speakers as default.

right click the speaker on the taskbar near the clock. select 'playback devices'. Youll see a list of all HDMI & digital outputs. Make sure the analogue one is selected, not the HDMI stuff. it should say speakers. tick it and hit apply.

The plug you have in the back is analogue out, not digital. We are making sure that you have selected analogue out. if youve selected HDMI out then the pc is sending the sound to the HDMI port of your graphics card.

For later , if you ever need to connect the PC to a tv, you want to select HDMI output so the sound goes to the TV via HDMI cable.
