I dont know where to post this question beacuse i dont know where the problem originates. my new laptop Acer Nitro 5 is great, runs all the new games. no bugs everything is running smoothlt. but the Realtek HD audio manager is needed for mye combo jack headset's microphone to be able to conncect in the singe jack in my laptop.


ok.. fine.. but i want to connect an external soundcard, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. it uses a usb connection. but the realtek driver installed on my computer does not divide between laptop speakers and headset speakers. it is a all seemingly one virtual source, i am guessing realtek is overiding the input and controlling it through its manager.


ok... thats fine too.. i downgraded my realtek software and as expected the seperate devicec is now available for enabeling and disabeling in the management audio devices tab, and the headset microphone is no longer able to connect. great!


thats what i wanted, because now i can connect (with up to date drivers installed) my usb external soundcard and have it show up as a seperate device...

wich i then, if unable to connect to reason with focusrite drivers, can use asio4all to connect to reason.


but.. no.. no external sound card detected.. anywhere. not in device manager either. i have connected a seperate usb microphone with a built in soundcard RECORD MU-75 (wich i would happily use as a replacement if able to, though not as good) but still no luck.


it is as if the devices are not connected. all other devices work perfectly, my mouse, my external harddrives, usb pens ect. but anything that has to do with sound does not register what so ever.


i have reinstalled the current Realtek HD audio manager/driver so i can use my headset microphone for discord, the plan being if the older driver worked i would reinstall and alternate between drives as per my needs, but it did not work.


i am now trying to find a way to connect my soundcard through the realtek manager. the reason for this is that the asio4all is showing up in reason but does not contain a connection to anything other than the devices the manager has control over.. or someting.. to be honest i am at my wits end and dont know how to proceed. i have been trying for 2 weeks and i dont have the option to give up. i need to solve this problem. and as humiliating as it would be i hope the awnser is simple, because im really tired of this ****
