RIVE - Realtek no sound if hocked to headphone !!

Gentlemen,

I've been using my Logitech Z515 with my RIVE since the assembly with no issues .. Lately been trying to use my headphones on the systems with no success.

The Front panel on my rig is connected to the AAFP using AC'97 similarly the BIOS is set to use AC'79 .. all that I get is an echo and static .. Also, tried the rear lime port and the same results.


Any ideas .. Is it a driver problem ??

Also, switched from AC'97 to HD on the AAFP and the BIOS with no success. !!

Windows is probably set to use the Z515 as the audio output. Does the Z515 still work? You may need to right-click the speaker icon in the system tray and go to playback devices. You can change the default output there.

So it is fixed? If not, which device is set?

No it's not working yet. I set it to the device that pops up when I plug the headphone to the jack.

Just for a test I would try all of the outputs default one at a time. Has the on board sound ever worked? If not it may be faulty. How long have you had the board?

Well, I meant have the onboard connections ever worked. Have you ever successfully used headphones or wired speakers? I know you said the bluetooth speaker was working.

If you've got all of the software/drivers installed and the default output is changed to the normal output and not the bluetooth then I'm not sure what to tell you. 😞 You might have a faulty board.
