Hello!

Motherboard - Asrock Z270 Extreme4

PC case - Zalman Z9+ (has HD Audio and AC97 support, HD Audio connected now)

OS - Win7 x64

Realtek HDA Driver - 6.0.1.8036 from www.realtek.com.tw (tried 7960 from disk, 8004 and 8051 beta from www.asrock.com)

Speakers and Mic connected rear, Headphones - front.

Here is important (i think) screenshoot from UEFI - http://joxi.ru/KAgBdW0tLnP62l" rel="nofollow - http://joxi.ru/KAgBdW0tLnP62l

1. Headphones or Mic not detect automatically when plugged into front panel. Why?

2. If option "Disable front panel jack detection" is enabled in Audio Manager, then Headphones is work, but with same audio stream like Speakers. So where headphones for choosing default device? There is FrontMic - http://joxi.ru/xAeB65EtkJOOry" rel="nofollow - http://joxi.ru/xAeB65EtkJOOry , but no Headphones - http://joxi.ru/eAOWGDMI5wgJAo" rel="nofollow - http://joxi.ru/eAOWGDMI5wgJAo

3. No button "Device advanced setting" in Audio Manager, so what i can do to make two audio streams in my case? I need it. Like it should be - http://joxi.ru/52aBERyt79o0A0" rel="nofollow - http://joxi.ru/52aBERyt79o0A0 , like i have - http://joxi.ru/EA44j61tQP13Ab" rel="nofollow - http://joxi.ru/EA44j61tQP13Ab

Same problem with my 270. Windows 10 with latest Realtek drivers. It detects front audio properly using the Microsoft drivers, but that doesn't help if I want to use the Realtek software.
