No sound from ASUS on-board controller

[lbeachmike]

Hi there -

I just built a new box on a P8Z68 DELUXE motherboard. I am running Windows 7 ((64-bit) and using the on-board sound with Realtek controllers. I'm using all current drivers from the ASUS website and the thing doesn't make a peep of sound using either the optical outputs or the analog outputs.

However, if I connect a pair of headphones to the headphone port on the front panel, I will get some sound from there - but only in the testing portion of the soundmanager application, and not otherwise in Windows.

Processor is an Intel Core i7-2700K 3.5 GHz LGA 1155 Processor BX80623I72700K.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike

Go into sound management and make darn sure what audio you want is selected.

Here is how.

Thanks for the response Train, but that link is definitely not a how-to link for sound management. It only talks about downloading the Realtek drivers and provides a download link. I already have the drivers.

I would be interested, however, in whatever the how-to link has for sound management as you had intended.

Thanks.

Mike
