Hello, all. I am using WS2016 for a home audio application to host Roon, a very nice audio software application. The issue I am about to describe does not occur if I run WS2016 with the desktop experience -- only when running in core mode, which, for high end audio purposes, is the preferred method.
Easy to describe. Bringing up Device Manager, there is no Sounds, Video and Game Controllers tab. Running mmsys.cpl shows that there is no sound device.
Windows Admin Center reports that the audiosrv and audioendpointbuilder services are both running, automatically.
In the desktop environment, I can load the Intel HD Graphics 4600 drivers (4th generation) and it automatically loads the HD Audio driver at the same time. Not the case in core mode. Only the graphics driver loads.
I have used phputil to load the Intel HD audio driver inf and Windows reports that it is successfully installed on a device on the system. Yet, I get no sound device in Sound Manager or Device Manager and running a driver query doesn't show any audio driver installed, notwithstanding that I've done so.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte unit and I've updated the chipset drivers and also installed the Realtek HD audio drivers that Gigabyte has on its own website. It seems to install, but yet, the Realtek drivers don't show up either in the query list and still no device in Sound Manager or Device Manager.
For normal audio listening, I disable the onboard sound device on the motherboard. This isn't an issue for the desktop experience. Thinking that might be the issue in core mode, I have enabled the onboard audio device, but it doesn't show up in Sound Manager or Device Manager.
I am stumped. Thoughts all? Thanks. JCR
