# My Realtek audio card does not show

## My audio card (Realtek) does not show up in WATCHOUT as an option to use for sound.

Problem description:

- I can't find analog out from the WATCHOUT audio out settings
- My soundcard´s analog outputs does not show

Most Realtek devices doesn't show the analog outputs if nothing is physically connected when WATCHOUT starts.

Make sure that your speakers or sound device is plugged-in correctly before starting WATCHOUT.
