Windows 10: Option for "Make front and rear separate audio streams" missing with Realtek HD audio

I don't want to keep plugging and unplugging the headphones from the front panel, so I would like to separate the streams as has been possible with earlier Windows and earlier Realtek chipsets. However, MoBo manufacturer doesn't provide control panel and relies on Windows downloading one.


The problem is that the loaded "Realtek Audio Console" doesn't have the required option. Should it have it? And if not, how do I get the output streams separated?

No Playback Device Option in Realtek HD Audio Manager


I would like to switch the audio output between front headset and rear speaker in Realtek HD Audio Manager. I remember before there was a "Playback Device" option in the software. Then, choose "make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously" But it missing.

This my pic.




This what I need.




Thanks for any help.

Realtek HD audio speakers "Not plugged in"

If your case has two front panel audio connection options, did you use the
HD audio motherboard connector ?

AC97 is 'legacy' and may not work on some current motherboards.

( There may also be an option to switch between HD and AC97 in the Realtek audio manager, or BIOS

when using an HD audio connector. If your Realtek audio manager has this option, play around with

this for different results with the other settings that control front and back panels )

- Do either speaker or headphone show in Device Manager, Control Panel > Sound,

and the Realtek audio manager ?

'I have like 2 headphones plugged in and two front speakers '

- Start out with either speakers, or a headphone until you get the audio going.

Use the rear outputs for the speakers, and front for headphones.

I would be inclined to try and get the rear speaker output going first because it is connected

directly to the motherboard.
