I am using a computer with MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard in it. For sound, I am using normal computer speakers which are connected to my computer. Recently, I changed the speakers of my computer and brought a new on which have optical connection. I connected them to my computer and played a song, but no audio came out of them. So I went into the Control Panel to check if any setting regarding the sound of my system had been changed due to change in the speakers. But I found nothing that would affect sound output of my system. I updated the drivers for Realtek Audio manager and also checked the settings in it. The options and the type of output were set to Dolby digital, but also it was not being heard. No option of the sound was set to mute, neither there were any yellow triangles in Device Manager that showed the error. The device manager also showed every device as working properly. The speakers aren’t showing any red light suggesting fault in it.
If I play an media file, then there is movement in the sound bar. This indicates that software is properly generating sound, but it is not being processed to be presented as output on the speakers. I think that problem is with the S/PDIF of the motherboard. I am using my television as monitor for my computer. Is it because the speakers of my television are being accepted as audio device by my computer, but since it cannot find appropriate drivers, it is failing to generate any output?
