Hello guys,

Looking for a little help with my Sound configuration. I recently bought a Turtle Beach HPA2 headset for my GX660R laptop.

When I set the realtek to 5.1 the inputs change to the following.

Front Speakers
Front Speaker
Center/Sub out
Rear Speaker out

I can not figure out how to change it to be able to use the mic.
I am currently leaving the second "Front Speaker" blank and the 5.1 works great. Movies and games sound fantastic, but I am unable to use the mic at all.

Any help is appreciated.

Rob

Does realtek allow you to disable the front speaker when looking at the room view?

Not that I can see, it just allows you to click "full Range" or not.
