No audio output from 3.5mm jacks

[thelittleidot]

Yeahh, so I said I don't have this issue, but I thought that the AMD high def HDMI output was the same thing (I'm dumb). Motherboard is the B550M Aorus Pro rev. 1 and I think this is a universal B550/X570 issue. I installed the Realtek audio drivers, tried all line outs, not even the front audio works. HDMI audio from the video card works fine though, so I'm convinced that the motherboard is doing this. Not sure about anything else though. Here are some pictures too.

Doesn't seem like you've got the realtek drivers.

Try downloading them here and installing them: click me.

I had this problem go into system sounds and disable any other speaker sounds like monitor, speakers, soundbar etc...

I downloaded the Realtek drivers from the website.

When you click your audio icon in the windows taskbar can you select other devices?

What happens if you boot for example ubuntu off of a USB? Does it have sound then?

Well, I haven't tried that. Are you willing to wait? I need to make a bootable USB for that.

I'll wait for as long as I can. Heading to bed in an hour or two.

Shouldn't take too long depending on your internet connection.

Have you tried plugging the jack into the monitor is there sound there?

The monitor has built in speakers, but the only audio jack is an audio INPUT. Wish that Asus did better on that, otherwise its great.

Nothing, still only HDMI.

Starting to think your motherboard might be faulty.

There is a way around it, if your USBs work you could get a DAC+Amp combo.

All my USB's work, I do not think that the motherboard is bad, everything else has been completely fine. I will see if I can get my hands on a cheap USB to 3.5 mm audio jack adaptor. I know they exist. I can't see anything else that would be the culprit here. Thanks everyone.

Coming from a newbie I know this sounds really stupid, but I had a similar situation with my Mac mini 3.5 audio jack not working and after a hour long call to apple support there was still no audio. They had me trying everything but nothing worked and they said to bring in my device for repair. So after I got off the phone knowing I wasn’t going to take the Mac in for repair I decided to try something simple. I toggled the jack by removing the 3.5mm cord and re inserting it and suddenly the Mac remembered what the headphone jack is and my sound was back. Before this the jack was non existent in the menu, just disappeared. I run the 3.5mm out to an amp and some in ceiling speakers so I can crank up my Spotify. They say the most obvious is un obvious. I hope you get yours worked out bud, wish I could be of more help.
