As you may have seen, in the Windows Sound settings in Control Panel, you are allowed to select one default audio device. Which is what makes it difficult or impossible to configure multiple audio devices at the same time. Or have you configured your audio in a different way?
Not a lot of details about the hardware being used. You mentioned the HDMI output to your TV, is that on the board's IO panel? Or from a video card?
Which also brings us to the video source. Is that the Intel iGPU, or video card?
You mentioned the Realtek audio, but the Intel iGPU output has its own audio source. Not to mention potential audio signals from a video card. The question is which one are you using?
What cables do you use to connect the PC to your stereo system, and where are they connected?
Does your PC case have front panel audio connections, and is it connected to the board?
Does your stereo only have analog inputs? No digital input or decoding of a SPDIF digital signal via a TOSLINK connection?

I would like to link the PC to my old stero system via analogue output. I cannot seem to get audio to be delivered through both HDMI and analogue jack simultaneously. I can get to a situation where Realtek Audio manger test mode play sounds on all four speakers when the test buton is clicked but when I revert to my music library the HDMI connected TV speakers disappear. Suggestions welcome (no I won't be getting rid of old stereo - I have 100W per channel and so can have a good party) thanks Mike |
