    Windows update breaks Realtek audio on gigabyte motherboard


    So this is more of a "to let you know" than a question....

    So a security update has broken a function within the gigabyte realtek audio settings where one could have separate audio for speakers to your headphones. The issue is that this update has screwed up jack detection meaning nothing will play out of the rear audio jack the front headphone jack is fine due to a dialogue box box not appearing asking you to specify what was plugged in.


    Simple solution go into realtek settings and turn off front panel popup dialogue. This means, as far as I can tell, windows won't c*%&block audio from a source until it's identified and will instead just let things play immediately.


    A very specific problem I know but often it's the specific ones you don't get an answer to...


    Sorry for rambling.

    realtek audio manager for ALC1220-VB codec (gigabyte)

    Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Ultra , BIOS v F8

    Audio (on-board): Realtek ALC1120-VB codec

    Steps already taken:

    updated all drivers and chipsets to most current

    confirmed in apps list, control panel, Startup panel, and Search that there is no Realtek Audio Manager installed

    disabled all audio controllers that are not Realtek

    uninstalled all Realtek audio drivers (including checking the box to delete associated driver) in Device Manager

    rebooted and reinstalled a number of versions of the latest drivers from both the manufacturer website, Aorus, and Microsoft Catalogue, and even the R282 version from 2017 from Realtek

    No matter what I do, the Audio Manager does not install and I therefore have no way to re-task the line-in jacks for 5.1 channel sound.

    My questions are:

    1. where can I get a complete installer that will properly install both driver and Audio Manager

    2. what is the name/version of the drivers I need

    3. is the process described above adequate and if not, please describe in detail the necessary process
