Show your audio systems!!!

Pic from a few months back, basically still the same though.

• Sound card: Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 (C-Media Oxygen HD) w/ LM4562NA op-amps

• Receiver: Pioneer Elite VSX-54TX

• Speakers:
  • • Front L&R: Infinity Primus P150's
    • Front Bi-Amp'd L&R: KLH Audio Systems 9250B's
    • Center: Infinity Primus C350
    • Sub: BIC Acoustech H100

That is 770w of speakers + 500w of sub for anyone who's counting...

Also my receiver has a little microphone, you set it where you will be listening from and it sends out test tones via the speakers and the mic calculates distance, reverb, and eq settings automatically to auto adjust it to your room.

Almost forgot!

• Headphones:
  • • Sennheiser HD280 Pro
    • Sennheiser HD201
    • Sony MDR-V700DJ

Rear audio ports always show as “Not plugged in”


I've been having this issue with Windows for about a week now which NONE of the back panel/front panel connectors (speakers, microphone) are being recognized by Realtek audio manager. The only audio input/outputs that are showing are the optical.
Troubling shooting steps I've tried (none worked):

• COMPLETELY uninstall all Realtek drivers/reinstall
  
• Tried using windows drivers
  
• Reinstall Windows 10
  
• Upgraded chipset driver
  
• sfc /scannow

I called EVGA and asked for RMA but then I booted into a Ubuntu OS and all the ports work FINE. It must be a problem with windows 10.
Can you think of any other troubling shooting step I can try to fix this annoying issue? Thanks!

After looking in Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs, I don't see any speaker/microphone listings, only the optical crap:
