Windows 10: Mumble and Realtek HD Audio Manager Problem

Mumble and Realtek are not working with each other. My headset works everywhere else, Skype, Steam Voice, Nvidia's Shadowplay and Teamspeak but on Mumble I get no sound through the headphones but my microphone Is picked up and working as people can hear me but I can't hear them.

I tried a reinstall of Mumble, didn't fix It. But when I uninstalled Realtek, Mumble began to work and I could hear myself on the audio wizard and others after.

I've reinstalled Realtek again to see If I get the same outcome and I do, Mumble again does not work, but my headset works everywhere else, I have selected Default and Realtek for Out and Input when running the audio wizard but that didn't change anything, not sure what the problem Is. Please help!

Thanks.

External microphone really quiet (Realtek HD Audio-Manager)

Hello,

I have a problem with the Realtek HD Audio-Manager. I bought a new headset a few days ago. It is working fine on the Playstation, tablet and on my mobile phone. However on my Notebook it is very quiet.

I plugged it in but the I think the Realtek HD Audio-Manager puts the internal microphone and my external microphone into one microphone array (well, that's what at least is showing in the system settings).

So even though I set every audio setting to maximum, the microphone is still very quiet. I also updated the drivers and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio-Manager.

Once when I deinstalled the Realtek HD Audio-Manager and I tried the troubleshooting it somehow worked fine for a few seconds. But then it reinstalled Realtek HD-Audio-Manager automatically and the microphone was quiet once again.

 

Microphone audio is distorted when I listen to audio playback in Windows but fine in Realktek Audio Manager

I have the Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 motherboard and I'm using the most recent drivers from the Gigabyte website R4.31 posted on 8/25/2015. I've already done the Troubleshooting within Windows and there was nothing that was reported. I tried all of its suggestions,
turning off Sound FX, etc. with no change. I have uninstalled and installed this driver so many times; I've used the Windows drivers, the HD Audio Drivers installed as part of Nvidia graphics driver and Realtek. As I mentioned above, the microphone and it's
playback works 100% fine within the Realtek Audio Manager, it's everything in Windows that is broken (Recording Devices > Recording > Realtek High Definition Audio Default Device, Mumble Voice Client, Curse
Voice Client, etc.)

 

I know nothing about Mumble and I suspect a configuration issue in Mumble since everything else apparently works OK.

One issue, do you have "Stereo Mix" set as the default Recording device? If not, set it and see if makes a difference.

 

I solved It, not much of a mystery to be honest. Realtek has It's own volume control and mumble was muted on It... I feel rather stupid right now.

If anyone's reading this In the future, I right clicked on the Realtek red speaker on the tool bar, and selected volume control, where I saw that Mumble was muted.
