Hi,
I've got a Realtek HD audio card on my Maximus VI hero motherboard.
Now I am not sound expert, to say the least, so I'll try my best to explain my problem.

Around a week ago, the quad, 5.1 or 7.1 surrounds stopped working properly; I can only hear L or R (when I choose stereo in my sound manager, it works fine, of course).
The funny thing is, when I test the other cues on the Realtek sound manager, information is being sent, but I cannot hear it. (I can see the bars going up in my device manager thingy). Here is an attached prntscrn of what I mean. http://

I tried two headsets (I own a sennheiser HD589 and a Monster DNA), and the problem repeats.
I've rolled back the driver and reinstalled the original one, and still this persists.

I find it hard to believe this is a hardware problem.


Thanks in advance for any help.
