Audio Only Reaches Monitor, Never Headphones

[DomNgw]

Just bought a new pair of headphones that go into the rear green and pink ports. The headphones work on every device in the house and when I use VGA they work as well. I only use VGA for onboard graphics and using it would defeat the purpose of having a GPU so now I use HDMI from my GPU to my monitor.
I have tried setting defaults in the sound options as well as reinstalling sound drivers and Windows 10. When I use the test I can hear it from the monitor but never the headphones. Would a different version of Windows sort this? What should I do? Get a sound card?

Under "playback devices", do the headphones appear?

 

[DomNgw]

They do, when I try to test them Windows show them as playing sound as well but no audio

 

[Barty1884]

You have headphones to green and mic to pink and not the other way around?

 

[DomNgw]

Yeah, the headphones go into green and the mic goes into the pink

check the e33 is a msi board .

 

[DomNgw]

My bad it is MSI

 

[scout_03]

did you install the realtek audio driver for the board that where you control the in and out also the output from board feed the tv directly for sound and why you dont plug headphones in the case front panel with mic input .

 

[DomNgw]

I did use the realtek audio driver for the board. I did try the front panel but it was the same result, Windows detected it and said it was playing but no audio. I have no idea why the board outputs to the TV and not the headpohnes

 

[scout_03]

what you have plug in the back of pc to tv from sound output also you need to set this in the realtek audio panel post a picture of it for sound .

Can't really take a photo but it's my headphones which is a single wire split into audio and mic, audio in green and mic in pink, ethernet cable 2 USB's and HDMI. Splitter definitely works since I've tested it. Also Realtek doesn't see the monitor connected by HDMI as an output device

 

[scout_03]

so headphones have 2 cables could be plug in front panel and look in realtek audio panel under advance to see how headphones are detect and picture could be take with print screen option .

 

[DomNgw]

Once it finishes reinstalling Windows I will

Headphone and mic are detected, even after downgrading to Windows 8

 

[scout_03]

click on the little wrench on the right corner to advance mode and tell me what you see .

I decided to bite the bullet and instead order a USB sound card, sorts out the problem and the audio isn't bad, thanks anyway

Based on your description, it sounds like the NVIDIA Audio Output Device is the default sound output device in the Sounds->Playback menu. If you want to output audio from the Realtek internal soundcard, you need to change this to "Speakers", which typically outputs to whatever device is plugged into the rear output ports built into your motherboard.
