Problem with Realtek HD

[thewipyk]

Hello guys!
 

I got myself a Sennheiser Momentum On-ear, and a Momentum in-ear for travel, because I heard they are wonderful headphones, which is true. But when I connect it to the frontal port of an Asus Maximus VIII hero MoBo, they all sh@t themselfs. The on-board sound system (Realtek HD start up whenever I plug something in it) looks like it can't handle the headphone. (Front audio, everything is plugged correctly). When I plug in the headphone, and start the demo, I hear both the left and right sound at the same time, even when I go directly to the windows audio setttings, and start a test, both my left and right sides sound the same, like they both express the same mono channal. When I start to game (Fallout 4), or try "virtual barber shop" every sound is sh!t, can't hear dialogues unless I'm sideways, (in Fallout 4. I have no idea why, and it totally goes against every logic. When I test in Realtek they sound mono, when I test in windows they sound in mono, when I play Fallout 4 they sound mono, but like from aside) and every sound sounds like it comes from a tin can in VirtBarbShop. So what do I do wrong? VirtBarbShop prooves that it's not with the game's settings, than what?
I read somewhere that I should delete the drivers, but how do I do that?
OR any other suggestions?
TY in forward

Your description is pretty vague as to whats happening but avoid front audio ports they tend to be shit.

Yes. UPDATE: my headphones work on the rear

Possibly you need to go into your system sound settings and select stereo or headphone as the output format.

 

Open the sound settings control panel, select your onboard audio, and click configure. You'll want to select stereo from the listed options.

 

To uninstall drivers, open Device Manager, select your onboard audio device, and click uninstall. Then, select the root node and click Scan for Hardware Changes. This will reinstall the default Windows driver.

Ya front audio ports are known to commonly have interference introduced into the line unfortunately. ..most of them IMO are useless from what ive seen.

Not the problem here, and not always the case. I suspect that "interference" is more due to bad drivers or BIOS problems. Most motherboards moderately suck.
