Vista - How can I enable the 'advanced settings' in Realtek HD audio manager.

I really need help enabling the 'advanced settings' for my audio manager.

I've aready reinstalled the drivers 'alot' of time using different versions of it.

See the attached screen shot of my HD audio manager.


The speaker and mic works fine, the problem I have is

when I plug in the headphone jack into my s/pdif slot

both the speaker and headphone plays sounds

I heard I can change this in the advanced settings...

which I can't acess...


Thanks in advance.

Assuming you have on-board sound, it probably depends on the motherboard and what it can handle for sound and audio. I have the Device Advanced Settings option in the upper right corner.

Check this pic.

.

Well, I think my motherboard should be able to handle it. It worked fine on windows XP and even on windows vista, but ever since I installed sp1 it stopped working

Well, like Allmac suggested, click on the Device advanced settings in top right corner and have it set to this.

Seperate all input jacks as independant input devices.

Like I mentioned above, with proof of the screen shot, I don't have that function.

This is the version I have. Thats' weird, mines says Realtek on the bottom left and your says ASUS lol

Yeah, I know mines weird.
But I downloaded it from the official realtek site...

Maybe you could try un-installing the driver, and getting the driver from the motherboard manufacturer's website instead of directly through realtek.

I tried the manufacturer's website aready.

It was updated may 7the 2006, so I get a rthdcpl.exe compatability error with Vista

and no sounds

Hi Libredy,

Go to control panel, under Programs click on uninstall a program and uninstall the Realtek software after a restart Vista will automatically install the sound drivers again without the software.

Now when you right click on the speaker symbol in the notification area and left click on Playback devices This will open a window titled Sound by clicking on the Speaker and Headphone symbols and then the tab Levels you will be able to seperately adjust the sound levels

You should also be able to do this by right clicking on the speaker symbol in the notification area and left clicking on Open Volume Mixer

I hope this helps
