Windows 10: Realtek HD Audio Manager

Hi


I have a Win10 desktop running 1909 v18363.752 and an ASUS F2A85-M motherboard with on board Realtek® ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC. The motherboard was original being used for Win 7.


The other details are


Cambridge Sound works 5 speakers ONBOARD 8 CHANNEL 7.1 HIGH DEF AUDIO AS STANDARD


The desktop tower has a green connector and a black connector for the sound on the motherboard and with the supplied lead 2x green and 2 x black jacksI have put one set of ends into tower motherboard connections in the respective jacks and one set into the subwoofer black and green jacks. I have ran a speaker test from within the configure area of sounds in Win10 and on the 7.1 speaker setting I hear from all speakersbut when listening to internet radio, cd from built in cd drive I only hear from 2 speakers satellites and subwoofer but if i unplug the BLACK Jack connector from the subwoofer I get all 5 speakers working 4 satellite and subwoofer. This is a strange one and has me baffled. I would normally leave Win10 to install appropriate drivers but it seems they are well out of date so I have used a driver checker and they are now updated to best available.


Any help welcome. I have checked the double ended lead and it is working and nothing is greyed out on the Realtek Audio Manager to suggest any issues.


Thanks


Steve

If you're able to control your Realtek audio card using the Realtek HD Audio Manager before the installation Creators update, then this may be a software compatibility concern. The best option we can suggest is to get in touch with your computer or device
manufacturer for further information regarding the installation and use of the Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Should you have other Windows concerns, feel free to post it here in the community.
