Problems with Realtek drivers and New build
I'm really struggling to get this fixed. I just put together a new build using an Asrock Fatal1ty gaming k4 motherboard. It has realtek ALC892. On my previous pc, i could have my speakers plugged in the back (3.5mm), and my headphones plugged in the front, and switch between the two from the speaker in the bottom right of windows. For some reason my new build can't do that. I've been doing a ton of research, and it looks like Quexos was having the exact same problem in this other thread Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version [2]. He said he fixed it by using the 8328 drivers instead of the new ones (mine are ver 8619). That's great, i'll run the old drivers no problem, but i cant figure out how to install them. The drivers from asrock had a setup.exe that i ran. The 8328 drivers i downloaded from softpedia doesn't have that. I try to install manually through device manager, and it says the latest drivers are already installed. I ran the Realtekaudiodrivercompatibility thing in powershell in the 8328 download folder, and it said no inf file found in the provided location for the audio device: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0892&SUBSYS_18499893.
I'm confused, shouldnt the softpedia download have the inf file in it for my audio hardware? Someone help please!
