Realtek impedence detection

Is this in any way reliable?

I just built a new comp and have never seen it before. It is showing over 1000 for my old school 680s.

Which I wouldn't generally care about some gimmick feature except the onboard sound on my previous motherboard did die. It got quieter and quieter over time (was a 10+yo 4790k)

There are no headphones I am aware of over 1000 ohms so I would say it's just wrong plain and simple.

 

I don't know what 680's are but I would google them and see what the impedance is to know for sure.

 

At any rate, your headphones didn't kill your onboard.  It's just a coincidence.

the only old school 680 i see are "ultrasone" and they are only 75 ohm. and as psittac said, never heard of headphone ohm rating killing onboard. and 1000ohm? yea thats a false reading

if the headphone ohm is to high youll just not hear anything or be very low volume wise.

majority of headphones range from 5 -600ohm and mobo specs "say" can handle up to 600ohm. but we all know better lol

I don't do headphones. Logitech Z-680

ok that has its own amp. so ohm rating doesn't apply. 

your other mobo audio probably just went bad is all

and just "maybe" saying what it actually was in the beginning instead of old school 680
