Device manager is clear of any !marks. See Screenshot below - when I unplug the microphone from the jack socket it knows it has gone and greys out the realtek Mic at the top. Apart from a hardware fault on the motherboard which still seems the most likely, the only thing I can think of is some...

There is no option for "line in" Microphone. The "Realtek USB Audio" seems to be the only option and it appears to include jacks not just USB sockets. It recognises that I am plugging a mic into a jack socket and gives a notification so it knows I'm using a Jack rather than a USB port. It...

Yes - done all that. No sound comes to headphones (or speakers) when talking into microphone when doing listen to this device. One point: re your "set as default" - all those were greyed out and could not be ticked. However it was the right microphone and it had recognised that it was plugged...

No I don't have Armoury Crate app installed. Although I do seem to have armoury crate lite service running, but no app to adjust anything. It's as stated above - All the sound OUT - ie speakers or headphones - works just fine and can be adjusted with the Realtek, Sonic, Windows interfaces...

Yes it was the exact audio driver package for my motherboard, and everything works fine after installing except for the continuing microphone problem. I have 3 headsets (photo of one attached). They are all similar - one is Creative, one is Microsoft, one is some Chinese version of the same...

Thanks for the link. But still bad news. I downloaded that package and ran the install. Yes, I now have the Realtek Audio Control app, and that allowed me to add +30db to my output on the Microphone. Even so, when I run the audio test - the microphone (set at +100% plus the extra 30db) it only...

Any further ideas? I'm not happy because basically this PC is useless as an MMO gaming PC - because I can't control the Mic or Sound output settings enough. I'm getting close to returning it to PCS as "not fit for purpose". Example Windows Mic settings turned up to 200%. Discord Output...

I have a brand new Intel i7 / ASUS® ROG STRIX Z590 Compact PC with Win11. I'm having trouble getting the sound setup correctly for headphones or speakers because unlike my other PCS machines the Realtek Audio Manager application is missing. Device manager shows Realtek Drivers etc but there is...

Thanks for this post. I have just updated TPM on both my AMD/Gigabyte PC and my Intel/ASUS PC. For others looking at this I will say that my BIOS menus were NOT exactly the same as those shown in the guides above, but the guides gave enough useful pointers for me to drill down and find the...

I also sent this message to Tech Support, but maybe someone has seen similar problem and has some advice Re my Defiance 15.6 Laptop, purchased 2 years ago. This machine has behaved perfectly until today. Today it has locked up and frozen. Pressing the power on/off button does nothing. CTRL/ALT...

Hi, I purchased a 15.6" Ultranote laptop back in October 2014 (Order number 725859). The machine is still working very well and is fast and reliable with one exception: The Battery pack no longer works. So the laptop has to be connected to the mains adapter and will not run at all on battery...

Re the Octane III and the Defiance III: (to be used for general purpose and some gaming) - what materials are they made from - ie: all plastic or part plastic, part alloy? - I previously has an earlier version Optimus V and after 2 years the keyboard is nearly dead - I want a decent quality...
