G1 Sniper.M3 Sound Blaster Control Panel (Windows 10)

[Earbuddy]

This is my first post so I'm sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum to post in.

Does anyone know how to fix the Sound Blaster control panel in Windows 10 pro?

I uploaded a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/sc0Jxjd.jpg

It's been updated with the latest drivers from Gigabyte website, which is;

Creative Audio driver 6.0.101.1040, 46.57 MB, 2015/07/07

I noticed Creative released driver's for the pcie version of Sound Blaster Recon3di on their website.

Yes this is the right place. But you might have to wait a little. Microsoft is having a lot of problems with about everything. Things will come together but people have to wait till things get fix.

Shouldn't Gigabyte be responsible for their own driver updates?

Yes they should on they drivers. But this one is from Creative Labs. Just like if you had realtek audio same thing. They are getting those drivers from the audio companies.

I have already spoken to Creative and they have stated that motherboard sound drivers are Gigabytes responsibility.

This is not a sound card, this is onboard audio via Gigabyte Z77 chipset.

The driver dates do not match up, even after a clean install, which leads me to believe that Gigabyte haven't actually updated the drivers on their website, only the dates.

My driver version and date both read different than what is on Gigabytes website. http://imgur.com/JRSxaJh

I have tried 5 times now, deleted everything driver related and I even tried disconnecting the internet and installing the driver, nothing has changed.

Are there any official Gigabyte staff on here who can confirm this?

[dmdilks]

I don't think going to a official Gigabyte staff here. This is a user to user forum. Plus one other thing other people are having the same problem. I'm reading and they don't have a gigabyte board. It is a windows 10 problem.

This indeed worked for me by downloading the 8.1 64bit version from here: http://www.gigabyte.co.nl/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4168#dl

HOWEVER! My front microphone jack just doesn't seem to want to get recognized at all, at the back of the motherboard the microphone DOES get recognized and works, but the front jack (which worked without any problem on Windows 8 ) just doesn't seem to recognized having a microphone being plugged in.

As I frequently use it, I would like to have this fixed. Does anyone else experienced such a problem and if so does anyone have a fix for this or might know the cause of this problem?

Just tested mic on mine and it shows that mic is plugged into front port within the creative control panel but as you say you can't record from it "bit strange"

Hmm didn't stated I can't record from it, but it just doesn't get recognized that it's plugged in, into the front I/O jack at all not in the creative control panel or in the Windows Recording Devices. In the back it works and gets directly recognized just not at the front which worked without any problem on Windows 8.

Here's a reddit post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3j104b/creative_sound_blaster_recon3di_audio_jack_problem/

Edit:

In the end I feel really stupid that it was only this small thing that was causing the problem. I only had to select the Front Microphone as the input device in the Sound Blaster Configuration Panel.

After selecting Front Microphone everything works now!
