How do I use/config the Realtek HD audio coax out? Two GigaByte board's coax won't work!
Hi,
I have two Gigabyte boards, the EP35-DS3R and an MA74GM-S2. I've had both for several months, they work with no problems. I began configuring these PCs so I can view the video through my TV and listen to the audio through my surround sound 5.1 receiver. I have a DVD player that I play 5.1 audio flawlessly through the receiver using a coax cable. Then with every thing off, I pull the coax connection off the DVD player and plug it into the back of either PC's audio coax connection. When I star everything up, all I get is a low volume hum. Both PCs behave the same. Because both don't work with the same symptoms, I doubt it's a malfunction. I'm almost 100% sure I don't have settings correct. Note when I plug in headphones and use the surround sound demos, everything comes in OK and ther is NO hum. Any suggestions what I'm missing? TIA Wendy |

TIA Wendy I THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO MANUALLY RECONFIGURE THE AUDIO OUTPUT IN CONTROL PANEL (OPEN THE 'SOUND' DEVICE). GO TO THE 'PLAYBACK' TAB, AND THE THE DEFAULT SHOULD BE SET TO 'SPEAKER'. WHEN YOU ARE USING ALTERNATE/REALTEK SOUND, SELECT 'REALTEK DIGITAL OUTPUT' AND PRESS 'SET DEFAULT', AND HOPEFULLY, YOU'LL BE GOOD TO GO. NOTE YOU'LL NO LONGER GET SOUND OUT OF YOUR COMPUTER SPEAKERS EVEN IF YOU UNPLUG...YOU'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND SELECT 'SPEAKERS' AND SET IT TO DEFAULT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL SOUND. HOPE THIS HELPS...GOOD LUCK. |
