Windows 10: Realtek speaker problem ?

Since the rear speaker is perceived as a side speaker, I need to attach the black jack to the gray jack because I cannot identify it as the back

what am I supposed to do, this is a problem ?

Realtek audio manager detect my rear speakers as side speaker.

Realtek can be goofy at times, okay okay, a lot of the time. You have to manually configure your speaker set up (should be a drop down list) despite setting it to auto detect feature that works 3 days a week and never on the weekends. Realtek doesnt like to save settings on reboot, so I'm sure some regedit wizardry is needed here too.

 

Sound Quality


One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.

 

Headphones recognized as Speakers...

Hi Ahri,

Having your headphones recognized as speaker when plugged in at the back of your PC could be the reason why the audio is low. To help us isolate the problem, we suggest running first the audio troubleshooter from the link Fix
sound problems.

In case the issue persists, then let's remap or retask your Realtek audio jack and see if it addresses the issue. To do that, follow the steps below:

• Open the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
• In the back panel, right click the option where your headphone is connected.
• Choose the option Connector Retasking, then select Headphone.

Feel free to update us with the result so we can further assist you.

Regards.
