Asrock B650M-H/M.2+ Front Audio Panel Problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

Recently I have updated my PC to AM5 Platform, Build

Mobo: Asrock B650M-H/M.2+ Board
CPU: AMD Ryzen 8600G 
RAM: G.Skill Aegis 5 16GBx1 5600MHz DDR5 RAM
OS: Tried on both Windows 10 64bit & Linux Mint 22.1 'Xia' Latest version
Audio Drivers: Downloaded Latest Drivers from Asrock website under the board. ie. 
1. Realtek high definition audio driver ver:6.0.9468.1_Nahimic
2. Nahimic3 utility ver:1.10.2_APO4

All drivers are install on the system with latest versions.
The issue I'm facing is with Front Audio Jack Panel has no sound output whatsoever. I have done a lot of troubleshooting like Enabling disabling "Onboard HD Audio" Option in Bios, tried different realtek drivers of the web and still there is no sound from Front Audio Panel on the Cabinet. However Back Audio Jack is working fine. Even the Cabinet is working fine with my old build.

I have tried the board on a different cabinet but still there is not sound from front audio jack. 

There is no option in BOIS/UEFI to enable AC'97 type front panel as it was found in older motherboards to use front audio panel for headphones. 

anyone facing same issue ?
this motherboard is good and this is the only problem currently

	ok here's an update front audio jack is working in "Linux Mint" after using "PulseAudio Volume Control" and changing output ports under "Output Devices" but back audio panel will be muted. Bad News is that on Windows 10 its not working even after trying "Realtek Audio Console", Front Panel is greyed out.

	ok good news guys now even in Windows 10 front panel audio is working. Simply uninstalled Realtek Drivers + Nahimic then installed Realtek Modded Drivers (AAF Family DCHAudioPack) from https://github.com/AAFOptimus/AAFFamilyDCHAudio, this has a lot of features along with Nahimic. I installed this modded drivers with Nahimic and under "Realtek Audio Console" Disable Front Panel jack detection to "ON" and Front Panel audio is working without any issues. Problem Fixed. Install "Realtek Audio Console" before installing the Modded Drivers. If I find any official drivers will update. Seems like something is broken between Realtek Drivers + Nahimic. apparently this problem is there on a lot of other motherboards from MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, Asrock as well due to Realtek + Nahimic. Some versions work and some don't.
