I always research topics before making a thread in any forum, but for some reason I can't seem to get these issues under control nor am I 100% sure where to start since none of the troubleshooting I've done has worked. A few of the main ailments afflicting me at present:
- New "Dolby Home Theater" option in my taskbar notification tray (unsure whether to keep on or turn off)
- I have 4 different options under both "Playback devices" and "Recording devices" and can't figure out what some of them are
- Static now plays through any set of headphones plugged into my tower's front headphone jack
- Computer monitor speakers are still audible after plugging in my headphones to a rear headphone jack
- I have a Focusrite Saffire 6 audio interface for recording - could this permanently replace my motherboard's onboard audio and fix a lot of these issues?
What I've done on my end:
- Installed a few, new parts (second HDD, an SSD, new CPU, and an aftermarket heatsink/fan)
- Installed Rocksmith (have had lots of audio related problems with this game)
What I know:
- Front headphone jack improperly insulated (possible, but doesn't explain why the static issue just started affecting me now)
Everything worked perfectly before I upgraded/added those components so I was a bit overwhelmed with all of these sound issues. I also know a lot of these questions have been asked before, but I don't know enough about what I'm doing to understand why things aren't working even after troubleshooting Any help would be appreciated, thank you. Just ask for any other information that is required, as well.
