BACKGROUND:
I had Windows 7. I was using a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 PCIe card to get 7.1 sound out of my PC only to discover that my Asrock Z97 Fatal1ty Killer MOBO won't support any extra occupied PCIe slots while I'm Crossfiring GPUs. So I took out that soundcard and opted for stereo sound on my MOBO instead (I couldn't figure out how to get 7.1 from the MOBO to the front panel jack).
I then upgraded to Windows 10 last week and am trying to find out how to get the 7.1 sound to work on it.
PROBLEM:
I have my HD650 Headphones hooked into the front panel audio jack on my PC. I have "Configure Speakers" set to 7.1 Surround. When I click test; Front Left/Right are normal volume, Center is higher volume, Subwoofer is no volume, and Side/Rear Left/Right are lower volume.
I can put a bandaid on the Side and Rear speakers by using Room Correction to adjust their volume, but I can't figure out what is happening with the Subwoofer. Realtek HD is set up to ignore the rear PC audio outputs when front panel jack is detected.
TROUBLESHOOTING SO FAR:
I have enabled Bass management - no change.
I have enabled "Swap Center/Sub Output" - no change
I have gone to the Realtek website and re-loaded the 64-bit drivers for Windows 10 - no change
I have changed the Realtek HD setting to output both rear and front of PC sound (only allows stereo in this configuration to front panel) and plugged headphones into the Orange C/Sub jack in the rear - I can hear the Center and Sub at normal volume when testing
I changed Realtek HD setting to original configuration which ignores the rear PC outputs when front panel jack is detected - original problem still exists.
HELP ME PRETTY PLEASE
