Windows 10: Realtek 5.1 rear speaker volume control

Hy.On my MSI GT73 6re laptop I run 3 cables to my receiver to get 5 channel /No sub... yet/My issue is that the rear speakers volume control sound/levels is binary 0%=off, 1%-100%=on, and 1%-100% same volume , and independent from the main volume.It ends up in strange things like when I have the main volume on 1% the front and rear speakers are barely on, but the rear ones came with constant volume.Even so when I change the volume in an app like vlc or winamp, that controls all channels, but if I decrease the main volume Spekers Realtek HD... it effects only the center and the fron

Realtek Audio 5.1 configuration : rear speaker switch to side speaker


Hello, I have a problem with any Realtek driver since I updated from Windows 8.1 to 10 (x64).
On every boot, I have no sound on the rear speakers : the black pin switches automaticaly to "side". I have to reconfigure the black pin to rear every time !





Did someone had a similar issue ?

Here's my config if it helps : Asus Sabertooth Mark 2 and Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers.

 

Realtek Digital Outputs - Rear and Front Jacks Reversed

Hi Brian,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I suggest you to uninstall the driver software and reinstall and check if it helps.

If the issue still persists, follow the below steps:

• Type Control Panel in search box and press Enter.
• Click on Sound.
• In Playback tab, click on speakers and click on
  properties.
• Click on Level tab and check if the rear input is set to mute and uncheck it.
• Select the level to 100% and check if the rear speaker works fine.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to

Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]

I just built a new rig with a ASRock X470 Taichi motherboard and Win 10 64bit 1903. I downloaded the driver from my motherboard's site (Realtek high definition audio driver ver:8668_UAD_WHQL_DTS) and then ran the powershell script to detect the driver type.

Since I couldn't get more than 1 output, I also tried the latest driver in the 1st post (HDA DRIVER VERSION: 6.0.8716.1).

No matter what is plugged in, I only have 1 playback/output device.

• I plug my speakers into rear panel = audio plays out the speakers and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)
• I plug my headphones into front panel = audio plays out my headphones and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)
• I plug my headphones into front panel and speakers into rear panel = audio plays out of front panel and listed as Speakers (Realtek Audio)

I used to be able to switch between front and rear when both were plugged in. Anyone have any suggestions?
