Realtek has become one of the leading choices used by motherboard manufacturers. In part, this is due to the efficient audio codecs that lead to a balance between performance and quality when converting an audio signal. Many computers have Realtek-powered audio jacks on the front and back of the motherboard. The Realtek device is designed to output to one or both of these jacks simultaneously. By default, if an audio device is connected to the front panel, audio output may cease in the rear panel. You can change this behavior within the Realtek Sound Manager. Writer Bio
