    Playback devices


    Before I received the Creators update, plugging my headphones into the front jack socket did not automatically switch the default playback device from speakers to headphones. I had to go to the playback device menu and do this manually. Since the update, plugging in the headphones works exactly as it should but, oddly, the headphones no longer appear as an option in the playback menu. Any suggestion why?
    It has also been some considerable time since I was able to access the via hd console. Clicking on VIAAUD in Program Files has no effect whatsoever. Any views on this?

  3. Headphones device missing from "Playback Devices" and Device Manager after Realtek driver install

    I have an an odd situation. All my audio devices show up correctly in my device list when I'm using the Windows default High Definition Audio device Drivers. However once I install the Realtek drivers, my headphone device disappears. It's not hidden, lurking
    or otherwise - just gone. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps from various posts including this one here

    Headphones missing on playback devices
    ,, but no joy. Additionally (and not surprisingly) the headphones and speaker are no longer separate. Plugging in the headphones stops the sound playback on the speaker. The reason for needing the Realtek drivers is
    to support the ASUS Sonic Studio 3 application.

    As soon as I uninstall the Realtek drivers, all is back to normal.

    Any ideas? Am i missing something?

    Headphones missing on playback devices.

    Hello,

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing. We will help you.

    Normally they tap the sound from your speakers to your plugged in sound device from the rear pots. But If you enable the option that devices will take exclusive control over a sound device this will conflict.

    Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Right click on the Speaker icon in the Tray icons
      bottom right.
    • Select Playback devices. Select a device and click properties.
    • Select Advance Tab. Disable Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.
    • Repeat this for all audio devices.
    • Restart your pc and check if the issue persists.
    Keep us posted to help you better.
