OK here is some back story. I have a Proton AD-300 which when I had my old B370 board with the Realtek 1220 chip had it plugged into the line in jack of the computer and was able to listen to my deck that way through my computer and was happy. Fast forward to now I have a Gigabyte X470 mobo and hooked it up the same way and got nothing. I tried all kinds of different drivers, and even the modded ones in audio video section and nothing made sound, so I brushed it off as I got a fubar board with a dead line in, OH and mic in for I tried that too, got no sound, tape deck meter is bouncing around as it plays and I get sound out the headphones (of the tape deck), but nothing to my computer.
Now fast forward to about a week ago. My son and I moved my stuff around so I can get the decks closer to my receiver and hook it up that way, and here it goes:
Tape deck to cd input, or sat, or tv in the back, going into the Denon and made sure all inputs for those jacks are set to analog, not digital.
I STILL GET NO SOUND! Through the receiver.
I hooked a cable to my audio outs on the pre amps to the pc, and still get no sound.
I have my Razer analog, legit 7.1 headset hooked up and decided to do a mic test to see if my board really is fubar, and it works, so jacks are not the problem.
But here is where it really gets wierd, I had my headset on the other day, tried another driver mod and decided to try it again. No sound through receiver, BUT now its playing through my headset, thats hooked to the analog out of the back of the computer?!?!?
Remember this is going from deck, to receiver, front pre amp out, to pc, and get no sound through pc speakers from receiver, or from audio out to receiver, but I get audio through my headset, ONLY, no sound through receiver when selected cd jack tape deck is plugged into, or when selected PC input, get no sound from jack coming from receiver, to pc, coming out of it, but do from headset?
I opened audacity to see if I was able to get the program to copy a song from my tapes from the 80s and 90s, and though I pick mic, or line in, it tells me it hears nothing, as my headset is blasting!
If I turn my receiver to ANY input, from tv to computer and while playing sounds, my headset is still playing my deck, while it plays something else from the tv or computer.
WTF is making it do this, again, no sound from receiver, or computer line out jacks playing the tape deck, its playing anything else through my headset along with whats playing on the deck, or HDMI for that matter, but now that its hoked up to my pc, doesnt matter the input, or if I play other music from the different sources, I still get the tape deck music ONLY out my headset, while audacity still tells me it hears not a thing. I know Im "old" and on some good pills the doc gave me but I took my headset off just to be sure and cranked it, and said to my wife, you hear this, and she confirmed Im not going more crazy, there is the tape deck playing in the background, and YES I did stop it and hit play several times and it was for sure the tape deck playing.
So what gives? I been doing audio, and home theater for well over 35 years and this is baffling me to no end and makes no sense at all. Anyone have any ideas for Ive done all I can think of Ive come into and wired over them years and this makes no dang sense to me at all Before I got my Proton and Sony decks, I was using a old portable Sony deck hooked to the line in with a 3.5mm cable, and was able to listen to my tapes that way, before switching boards, I was able to listen to the decks with a rca to 3.5mm jack, and other then this board being the 1220-VB, and the other just being a 1220, doesnt seem that there should be that much of a difference between chips, and boards, both made by gigabyte, to cause this weirdness.
All I can think of is maybe the chip is fubar, though tested with my analog headset and its working, or maybe they have introduced some kind of copy protection that picks up when you have a deck hooked to the pc killing off the audio but didnt think of it all and it doesnt work 100% sending my audio still through a headset but tells the computer there isnt jack shit hooked up using this other model of chip set? I mean its so simple to hook up, out to in, but still why no sound through receiver going from deck right to it, but stil out to it, then out receiver to pc, no sound, but I get through headset, so jack in back of deck is pumping out sound or I wouldnt be getting anything through headset on pc, Im so
