Connect the headphones to the rear green connector... works?
Yeh when I connect the headphones to the green connecter at rear audio comes out of headphone so its something to do with speakers I think.
At the Realtek contol panel, make sure you have "Disable front panel detection" UNCHECKED or if it is unchecked when you first see it, try checking it and see if sound comes out in the front panel.
Well it was unchecked before and rechecked and plugged speaker into it. Also plugged speaker into with it unchecked and still nothing
How about that AMD HDMI Output, was it listed as "not plugged in" before you did the cleaning? Maybe that should get enabled as well.
It seems that we are getting closer to narrowing the cause as improper hardware connection or maybe something got broke when you tried to clean it up. Try re-checking your connections again.
I dont know about the AMD HDMI Output being listed before I cleaned because I didn't need to check as the speakers were working fine before then, and concerning the levels they are pretty exactly like the image you posted
As long as the Front is not at zero for Stereo, then that's good, because it's possible to have all the other levels up, but if the "Front" is at zero, you won't hear anything. I only mention this because there are options in the Realtek manager that the Windows volume manager doesn't have and vise versa.
Have you installed the latest Realtek driver? http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs
I am pretty sure because I tried updating my drivers as one of the solutions
