In Device Manager it only shows "High Definition Audio Device" and in PC Settings > Sound it actually lists my monitor ROG PG279Q which doesn't even have speakers and is connected to the GPU through Display Port. I've uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of Realtek drivers and nothing helped. I believe it could be that I updated Windows after the initial installation because I could see the speaker icon in Taskbar before that. The HD Audio connector should be used as it has more automatic detection. I've installed Realtek drivers from Asus website and it wasn't showing up in Device Manager.Īt first I thought it was because I installed Nvidia HD Audio software but nothing changed even after I wiped everything with DDU and reinstalled without it. When you use HDMI, the HDMI audio is generated on board the video card and becomes the default playback device and your RealTek (listed as 'Speakers' in the Sound Playback panel) is not used.

Knowing that driver-related issues are the cause of the problem is easy when an error message is displayed on your screen. So I finally ditched my old i7 4790K and Windows 7 and upgraded to R7 3700X and Windows 10 Pro 21H2īut since I installed Windows 10 I have not been able to get sound working. To fix errors in relation to the ASUS Realtek Audio Driver, simply download and install the required driver on your Windows PC.
