  2. Headphones do not show up when Realtek is installed


    OK, so this happened to me on my laptop. It wanted to use the realtek drivers no matter what. Let me show you what to do.
    Step 1. Open the start menu and type 'Device Manager' in the search bar. Click on the result.

    Step 2.

    You'll see this window appear.

    Step 3.

    Expand the 'Sound , video and game controllers' category.

    Step 4. Find 'Realtek High Definition Audio' in the list, then right click it and select Properties.

    Step 5.

    Click on the 'Driver' tab near the top of the window.

    Step 6.

    Now click on the button that says 'Roll back driver'.
    If the button is dimmed, make sure your Realtek drivers are currently installed.

    Step 6. If you did it correctly, the system should ask you to restart to finish. If it does then you finished the tutorial correctly!
    Once restarted, Open device manager again using step 1. Expand the 'sound, video and game controllers' category again.

    Step 7. If it says 'High Definition Audio Device' then you did it right. Here's a pic for example purposes:

  3. [WTB][EU]   Beginner audiophile headphones

    i would also recommend looking at the Audio Technica m50s if this is your first step into audiophile headphones.

    most of the cans you listed will also need an amp to push them.
