Find ways to isolate sound channels on the MSI Z390 Godlike.
I own an MSI Z390 Godlike motherboard. On this card there are standard 3.5mm connectors for things like line-in, mic, speakers out, surround sound, etc., but also a 6.3mm (1/4 inch) port. I purchased this board because of its capabilities and this was one of the features I aimed to utilize. I have the regular 3.5mm speaker out jack connected to my studio monitors, the mic-in jack coming from the mixer, and the 6.3mm port sending the PC’s audio to the mixer. However, whenever I connect the 6.3mm jack, it mistakenly treats it as a regular 3.5mm input. How can I isolate it and assign its own profile in the Windows sound settings so it recognizes the 6.3mm output? Additionally, I also use the front headphone jack. I don’t want these devices sharing the same output. I need the 6.3mm dedicated to the mixer for high-quality DAC audio, then route everything back to the PC along with the other inputs (mic, guitars, basses, etc.), while keeping the front jack reserved for quick plug-and-play use during gaming and everyday tasks.
