Hi, I would like to know if there's a way to have separate audio between the back and front connectors. In my previous board, an ASUS M5A97 R2.0, it was possible to do this within Realtek audio manager, but with this board it seems like there's no option and it's kind of annoying since I have a pair of speakers plugged in the back and a headset on the front audio panel, and when the speakers are turned off there's a weird volume variation in the headset because of the 'Headphone Impedance Sensing' feature that's still detecting the back connector until I unplug them, then the headset goes back to a normal volume. So that's it. Thanks in advance.

i have the same issue from day one. no help from ASrock on this matter still. Work around Make sure your headset is Not plugged in when you boot your PC. with your rear output set as default play something like a youtube video. Then plug in the headset to the front pannel and change sound devices in windows. This is how i get around the headphone impedance sensing bug.

Imo its a driver thing!
It worked with my pc from day 1. After Updating the driver with the latest Realtek drivers it didnt work any more. I deinstalled the audio device fromt the device manager and reinstalled it with drivers searched by MS Windows 10. Now I have a High Definition Audio device in the device manager with drivers from microsoft. Driver Date: 28.09.2017 Driver Version: 10.0.16299.15 And it works. I'm using audio switcher to switch between the headset plugged in the front and my speakers plugged in the back. https://github.com/xenolightning/AudioSwitcher_v1/releases/tag/1.7.0.117 |

Pipin77 is right, the issue is caused by Realtek's audio drivers. ASRock made the board but the drivers and audio chipset is provided by Realtek.

We could use a updated Driver from ASrock. This sound driver is version 8004 fall 2016. i test every newer version of the driver "over 10" and none work. we need some updates to make it usable
Headphone impedance sensing should be for the headphone jack "front pannel"and NOT the speaker jack "green jack on mobo". This needs fixed Asrock |
