Windows 10: Realtek Audio Console Speakers option won't work

I open the Realtek Console app and click Speakers under Playback Devices. That's it, the app closes. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but it won't work. Please help.



Before I started to use this app, I had once uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek Audio Driver and after a long struggle got it installed back. I had installed an optional Windows Driver Update which caused the issue. But I am not sure if the speaker issue here was caused due to that because I hadn't even opened this app before the incident.



I am having Windows version 2004 OS build 19041.685 in my computer.

Realtek Audio Console does not work anymore

Thank you for your quick reply F.Farah,

I've solved the issue, by performing these steps:

- Unistalling the previous version of Realtek Audio drivers in Control Panel -> Programs and Features

- Restart

- Installing the Realtek Audio drivers from the manufacturer (MSI)

- Restart

- Uninstalling both Nahimic and Realtek Audio Console (Win+X > Apps and Features > select the App > click the "Unistall" button)

- Installing Nahimic and Realtek Audio Console from "Microsoft Store", by opening the link indicated in the manufacturer's website

This should've solve the issue, but I had another problem, and the issue persisted, so I've followed this thread written in pt-BR:

"Realtek Áudio Console não pode se conectar ao serviço RPC."

I've disabled Realtek HD Audio Universal Service in task manager, to improve startup time, and I had to enable it again,
Task Manager > Startup > right-click on "Realtek HD Audio Universal Service" > Enable, followed by another restart. Now both Nahimic and Realtek Audio Console are working.

 

Realtek Audio Console REQUIRES a Realtek HD (UAD) Driver!!

I have the Realtek Audio Console as it came as a package from Gigabyte with my Z390 Aorus ULTRA. Has anyone ran into any issues when plugging headphones into the back jack?

Its listed as Front Speakers but I can't change it to detect as Headphones like my Front Jack does.

I'm not using them at the same time either just one cable straight into the Back Panel Front Speaker Jack. In the past on older boards I would be able to switch from Speaker to Headphones this doesn't give me the option. See the image below.




Even if I change the front jack to speakers out I still can't change the Back Panel Green as there is no drop down option.
