New pc build sound is completely mute

Go to solution Solved by CarlHen,

Have you tried to connect your headset to the back of your motherboard?

Hi, so i've just completed my build and got it to boot with win10 and everything, but after i've tried testing the sound and installing the latest drivers for realtek high definition audio it would either be VERY little volume or none at all. I've tried a couple different headphones/headsets and they all have the same problem. The sound from my monitor works, it uses nvidia high definition audio drivers so i believe it could be a problem with the realtek drivers, but thats just a hypothesis.

This is my build https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/TqQjr7

Edit: is this the wrong section? should it be in troubleshooting?

Firstly, Realtek tends to have a default volume setting that is low when the driver is first installed, have you adjusted this in the Realtek control panel? Are you sure that the audio device that is set as default in the Playback Devices is the one you are actually connected to?

You built this computer yourself right? so maybe you didn't properly plug in the front audio plug?
