Solution to no sound playback
Hi all,
I too have recently installed Windows 7 and have been experiencing problems with Realtek HD Audio sound no playing back on my 5.1 surround sound setup.
I notied after installing the latest Realtek drivers the sounds were in fact registering on my system, the sound measuring bars on the volume mixer were moving. (right click the small speaker in the systems tray to find the Volume Mixer)
To fix this go to the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the systems tray.
on the top right of the audio manager you will see in blue underlined writing that reads "Device advanced settings" click it.
Next you should see two categories "Playback Device" and " Recording Device"
in the playback device category select the option that reads:
"Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously"
This worked for me however my set up may be different to most of yours.
Hope it works for you all :)
