asus realtek hd audio manager headphones not working

That's not a fix, and is practically no different from my temporary 'fix'. There should be a setting for Keep my files that allows you to choose if you want to have preinstalled apps ON or OFF if you want any OEM Asus apps installed or not (Gamefirst, Armourycrate etc) Windows Settings>Recovery>Reset this PC>Keep my files>Download Windows/Cloud Download #1 the sound troubleshooter didn't fix it for me, I used it while trying to diagnose originally before reinstalling) (thanks u/potatering for the more concise version of my temporary fix with #2. New Potential fix (please try this first and comment if it works for you) My system is still up to date and working 2~ weeks in at this point as of this edit.

So at this moment, Re-install seems to be the only relatively guaranteed fix at this point. Just be prepared to remember passwords and reinstall programs and games.Įdit # 2 3: System restore has worked temporarily for someone, but i guess broke again with the same update. I chose to keep my files/account information. If anyone finds a real fix for the issue with realtek or something fixes it in an update, please let me know :)Įdit* I decided to just reinstall Windows, this fixed the issue. It is reversible, with a restart and Dolby Atmos seems to work regardless including it's volume boost as well. This will fix your audio BUT will seperate your tweeters from the downfacing speakers, and i haven't figured out how to make them work in concert with each other. Top of the list should be High Definition Audio Device. In the Driver tab, click Update Driver, from there choose Browse my computer for drivers, then choose Let me pick from available on this computer. From there, right click on Realtek(R) Audio and then select Properties. In Device Manager, go to Sound,Video and Game Controllers. I have found a 'fix' that will get you audio, though it won't fix realtek or whatevers causing the issue.

No sound is played while using the realtek drivers, as in it gives an error message rather than plays any audio, whether it be videos, playing test tones etc using both speakers and headphones. This is not a hardware Issue, but I've found no solution in the drivers or software so far involving realtek. I'm not alone with this issue, I've seen two other posts, at least 3 people with this issue so far. New Potential fix (no reinstall required, thanks u/Atihu)Īs of today, My speakers stopped working. Multiple reports of the sound troubleshooter now fixing the problem, please try it first
