Ok, I have an asus motherboard M4A89GTD-PRO/USB 3 that I had windows 10 running on before.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to get rid of that Hard Drive because it died. Audio worked fine on that copy of Windows 10 I had running. I’ve re-installed Windows 10, and now audio isn’t working at all. And the manufacturer does not have a windows 10 driver. And I’m fairly certain, the Windows 7 driver SHOULD work, but I cannot get it to. Is there any way, I can fix this?
Windows can tell when I unplug and replug something into the heaphone jack, but it’s not doing anything.
Try windows updates. for some stupid reason more and more drivers are coming from microsoft instead of the manufacture.
Check to see if there isn’t another audio device in play. Windows and linux are dead set on setting my ps5 controller as my audio input and output device despite repeatedly setting it to my internal sound card.
And finally do an app update from the microsoft store app. THis one sounds stupid but there are several “apps” that have to be install thru the store. Nvidia’s control panel is one of them. AIO printer and scanners have to have the scanning app installed thru the ms store app as well. And I know one of the codex / part of the driver for my on board audio for my asus rog x570 has to be installed … you guessed it thru the ms store app and that’s after the base driver install (and could not reliably get my audio to work under windows.)
See that’s what’s weird about this. Before, that windows 10 had been an upgrade from windows 7. So the audio worked fine. I’m having to get audio from my video card right now.
If I put ANYTHING into the onboard audio ports, no sound comes out. But windows can tell when I plug in headphones to the headphone plug. I know this because it comes up with a popup saying I plugged something into the headphones port.
I’m so confused… But I’ll try your suggestions. If anyone else can help me figure this out, I"d like to get it solved because this is my son’s pc.
