if you use the ''realtek'' drivers outside the ones the motherboards support page offers you may loos features added in by the motherboard maker [[ I guess that's why you eather get a board with a real realtek or the realtek under the asus, msi, giga, asrock, ect.
the first 2 times we got it working as soon as you left the game or shut down or unplugged the mic it reverted back to not working and had to set it up over and over to make it work, the we did something got it working full time when as needed with out going back over settingsĪnother thing I cant recall is if you got the motherboard branded realtek. My giga board and getting the mic / headset for gaming to work was a challenge as well for some reason but a bit of trial and error in the settings finally got it working the 3ed time. Like I say, it is realtek hardware, but its modified by the board manufacture and why it has there logo and not realtek's logo. jacking around to get the mic to work on that old giga board. One off the top of my mind is when you open the manager at the bottom the real realtek will show realtek the motherboard branded realtek will have the motherboards brand name where realtek would be normallyĪs you see one is the gigiabyte realtek sound the other is a true all realtek sound by realtekĪll depends on how asus set there's up or how giga or who ever set there's up to work with there own way of doing things of features added over realtek's I think it's the main reason why i'm having the. also on the right side of manager it shows that i have two analog audio ports. As Realtek HD Audio Manager pops up i see only three options: Headphones, Speaker Out and Mic In. i'll try to post that if I did it up to show the difference After restarting you have now Tab called HD Audio 2nd output in Realtek Audio Manager (but keep Speakers tab as default output). Hello, i recently bought headset and find out that my Asus N551VW can't recognize it as a headset. I had screen shots showing that how the say gigabyte realtek was not the realtek. I just thought of something else if, and I'm guessing you are, you're using Windows. Now all the apps will use the headsets mic but it will still not show up in Playback and Recording devices. Ya some brands like gigabyte us e there own realtek sound that's not the real realtek so to say I had a giga board and learned this and funny thing it was over the mic not working plug and play kinda as your getting - it will work but you have to go in a set it up once you do it should work from then on unless you change it back to default Go to Control Panel, open the Realtek HD Audio Manager, click on microphone, check the box next to 'Noise Gate' and adjust as necessary. Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > HD Audio Manager(I have Realtek HD Audio drivers), double click on Analog button and set current device to headset.
