    How did DISM go?

    You said you uninstalled everything under audio. Did you reinstall the Realteck driver? Does your mic work now?

    The DISM said there was no corruption or anything; how do I reinstall the realtek thing, unplugging and replugging is not doing anything anymore. The sound switched to coming from the headphones to the monitor, and I can't change it, so therefore can't test the mic.

    Ugh! I just saw this. I was focused on the post afterwards.

    I take it that you reinstalled the Realtek driver then, correct? The one from the Asus site?

    Asus site? Can you resend the link and I'm saying I haven't been able to reinstall it.

    It's in the post, but I'll post it again.

    Another thing is that I don't know your audio wired configuration. Is it plugged into your onboard sound or in your video card?

    I think... video card? It's all plugged into the back of my computer. How can I tell, I'm no tech guy (or I'm just dumb).

    The onboard sound will have multiple colored RCA female plugs. Your video card will have audio out or similar. Look for you video cables coming out. It's in that area.

    OK. Yes, that's onboard sound of the MoBo.

    And, eh, you're not dumb. We are all ignorant to something until we learn it. Not a single member here will know everything about a computer. And when we do learn an aspect of it, it changes. LOL!

    On the MoBo page I linked > Click on "Support" at the top right > Click on "Drivers and tools" > Select the OS (Look on your Advisor page for what you have) > Scroll down to "Audio"

    Ok, again, I have to run out. Hate to leave you like this, but I will check on my phone to see how you're doing. No idea why the sound is coming from the monitor. Is that wired to the onboard audio? Can you reach the Realtek panel now? If so, there's configuration there. Good luck.
