I did figure it out and I think that those of us with rear panel audio output problems might now be able to correct the problem.Realtek HD Audio Manager is one of the most widely available sound card driver applications, dedicated to providing users with the tool sound chips on their motherboard with the most accurate sound quality, access to all features of the onboard hardware, resolving compatibility issues that may be present with basic Windows drivers, fix various errors that may appear during the throughout the product's usage, and add support for new operating systems. No one could tell me that I was hooking up the hardware incorrectly. So, I will still complain about Gigabyte customer service and now tech support. The jack labels are not intuitively obvious - well, to me anyway. Plugged in the speakers and now I'm getting audio out from the rear panel jacks. UPDATE: Ok, now armed with the RealTek Audio Console I re-read the manual and it showed me that for two speakers I need to use the line out jack. How do I tell the system to only play from the front speakers? When I turn off the rear pair check box. The front actually sounds a lot cleaner - for lack of a better word. However, my stereo speakers play both the Rear and the Front pair of the 5.1 speaker set. I scrolled down to "Environment" and went from 'None' to 'Generic' and music started pouring out. So, when I play some music and still nothing. When I run the test I only get the test tone from the rear set not the front. But, when I set the speaker configuration to 5.1 I started to get sound out of the rear jack! I was shocked. Setting the speakers to stereo did nothing. After calls and emails and nothing from Gigabyte except a run around I opened the RealTek Audio Console app and started playing around. Loaded it up with the latest RealTek Driver from Gigabyte and plugged my speakers into the rear jack - SILENCE. I recently bought an Aorus Ultra motherboard.
