  1. Audio Not Playing


    Very recently my computer's audio has stopped working.
    My headset has a separate microphone and headphone plugin. I use a combiner to put both of them into the computer at once.
    Anyway, I cannot hear audio through my headphones, whether I use the combiner or not. I have tried to hear audio of various applications (browsers, Groove music, video games, etc.) and none work.The audio comes out through the computer speakers normally.
    I have already restarted my computer and this did not fix the problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions/fixes?

    :)

    My headset doesn't give sounds, only my mic that comes with the headset

    Do you mean Recording audio instead of Play Audio? Because i don't see any Play audio

  3. Audio playing only in stereo, not 5.1 audio

    Good evening,

    I'm having issues getting my 5.1 audio to play in full 5.1 instead of just stereo. At first, I thought it was the onboard RealTek audio device, but I have since purchased an additional PCIe 5.1 audio card and the symptom is the same.

    After plugging in the speakers (green for front left/right, black for back left/right and orange for front/sub) and double-checking the drivers, I use the audio configuration wizard to set my speaker setup to 5.1, when it tests the speakers, all sounds (front
    L/R, back L/R, sub and front) come out of just the left/right speakers.

    If I plug the orange input into the green jack on the soundcard, audio comes through the front/sub. If I plug black into the green jack, audio comes through rear left/right. But if I have the inputs into their correct jacks, Windows doesn't seem to be
    sending output to the other jacks.

    As I said, at first I thought it was the card itself, so I got a new card, and got the same symptoms. Then I thought that, perhaps, the video card (that includes HDMI out for both video and audio) was interfering, so I swapped out a different video card,
    and the symptom persists.

    I searched through the forums, and those whose issues looked similar, the suggested solution didn't work, or their issue was different from mine.

    I don't think this is an audio source issue, because the Windows audio configuration test fails to output to the other speakers as well. I have attempted to download 5.1 audio samples, and it's the same with those, too.

    Hoping there's someone who can assist.
