I have a Gigabyte Z690 UD AX DDR4 mainboard with an Intel i9-1200K CPU. The lastest BIOS is installed. I am running Windows 11 on this machine.
Whenver I have the Realtek(R) Audio enabled in the Device Manager under Sound, video and gaming controllers the audio devices go crazy. It's like I'm enabling and disabling the audio chip dozens of times per second. I need to disable the Realtek device in the Device Manager if I want audio to my work normally for other devices (displayport/HDMI, webcam microphone, etc.)
Normally, I use the audio out from my videocard over DisplayPort. I want to use a set of headphones in the audio jacks on my computer. I can't do this as long as this device is going berzerk.
I've tried a few Realtek drivers with no change. I'm almost thinking this is a Windows issue and not the driver, but I don't know how to test this assumption.
I've attached a video to show what is happening, and a picture of the device properties.
Any idea how can I fix this?
