Previously I had a cheap usb headset with a mic, which showed up as a separate device in playback devices, now I got a better headphone with vmoda boom mic, but I cant get the headphone show as a separate device.
I have asrock z370 extreme4 mobo, which has alc1220 realtek chipset.
When I install realtek drivers, I never see the option to make rear and front jacks play separate option in realtek manager, nor in realtek audio console, this seems to be the case for everyone with same mobo.
But if I uninstall realtek drivers, and use generic windows ones, they do show up separately, but now front panel mic jack doesn't work, it is all static. I use a splitter that came with mic to split 3.5mm jack into headset&audio, it is not long enough to put headset jack to front and mic to rear panel.
since windows drivers can do it, it should be possible to do it with realtek drivers too?
What are my cheapest solutions here?
If I buy a usb adapter like this one https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Exte...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WYZ7PTG3H9KB176X8XAZ
would that make my headphone show as a separate device?
Or if I buy a 3.5mm extension cable, I could use the rear panel for mic?
