If you are able to get the above screen with both "Speakers" and the "HD Audio 2nd output" tabs. You won't have any sound in MW II and some other games. Sound options but in some of them you cannot (MW II)īTW if you don't set anything as Default in Realtek Audio Manager Onto different outputs as I'm typing this post.įor some games you can choose the output too (Black Ops) in game

Such as audoi- and video-players, where you can change output toĪs a result my Foobar2000 (audio) and MPC (video) are playing If you choose the other option in Advanced, you will have only one streamĪnd now you have multiple choice for output in popular applications

Make Front and Rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously. If you can't see that Tab, go to Device Advanced Settings and change it to In Realtek Audio Manager (but keep Speakers tab as default output). Settings and change Front Panel Type from HD Audio to AC97Īfter restarting you have now Tab called HD Audio 2nd output Now, yes, I can disable this pop up, but that setting is never saved, which means whenever I plug the earbud in, the system will disable my laptop's mic.I solved the problem with different output to the front panelĪll you need to do is to go to Onboard Devices Configuration in BIOS Here I can select to ignore the earbud's mic, but this is not a great choice because every time I plug it in, that thing pops up, which is not good while gaming, for example. Anyways, to achieve my desired setting I need to have this pop-up enabled for whenever I connect an audio device it asks me what it is. I don't know why, I guess it has something to do with earthing/grounding but that's not the point here. The earbud's mic is noisy on the PC despite it working great on my phone this happens with other earbuds too. That's not good because my laptop's mic works better for some reason. I have a laptop with combo audio jack, which means whenever I plug an earbud that has a mic, the machine will automatically detect that mic and disable the laptop's internal mic.
