Hello community members!
I've just purchased this motherboard and seems to work fine, except two things: no RGB lights and no sound through the speakers. - Even if I'm not a big fan of RGB stuff, I want to know that my mb has no faults. The other RGBs works (ram and gpu). With RGB Fusion 2.0, I can set colors, etc. but nothing happens on mb, no lights, nothing! And sound, the biggest problem! I can have sound through the front panel (headphones) but no from the back where I normally connect the speakers, although "device works fine" and Windows tests are ok.
I tried everything I found on the internet but with no results... including clear CMOS, reset everything, even downgrade BIOS (and upgrade it again)... and it's a fresh Windows installation (and update to 11).
From Gigabyte support I received a simple answer: go for warranty! But this is not a gaming computer but a work one, so I cannot afford to wait up to two weeks for a service solution.
Fortunately, for sound I find a solution - to plug in the jack to Line In and from the Realtek console to map it to Front Speakers Out.
So, my question is: what thing on the mb controls this aspects? I suppose is a faulty chip so I'm worried about other possible effects... I can live without RGB lights, no problem, but I just want to know why doesn't work.
Thank you!
