Hi People
Ive just built a computer and installed all drivers off the cd. I attached my speakers to the line out on the back of the pc and no sound. All settings were correct, speakers were attacched, all volume was up, sound enabled in the bios etc. I then attached my stereo spekers and they worked. There is this program called Sound Effects manager that has been installed with the drivers for the sound and when i insert my speakers to the line out and change the speaker config to 2 channel mode it says speakers are front speakers but then no sound comes out. When i put speakers in line in and change speaker config to 4 channel mode it changes speakers to rear speakers and i get sound but you have to put your ear to the speaker as its very very quiet. To hear sound from my stereo speakers f(attached by a cable that runs from pc to aux on back of stereo) i attach cable to line in and 4 channel mode and hear sound fine. Ive been on realtek site and downloaded drivers incase ones on cd were older and still nothin has changed. Ive been in sound properties in control panel and performed a test of hardware and it says everything is working. Can anybody help me hear please ive looked at other forums to see if anyone has had same problem and similiar ones are reported but replies just ask to check setings but ive done that already in bios and device manager and everything is good. Ive installed directx 9 because when i installed the driver it said that directx 8 would be required to use advanced features but as directx 9 is the new version i dont know where i could obtain Directx 8 don't know if that could be part of the problem doubt it though. Anyway many thanks for all who read and attempt to help me.
