  1. Front headphone jacks are no longer playing sound but pic up microphone.


    I recently updated windows and noticed that the headphone jacks on the front of my PC are not longer playing any sound. The headphone jacks on the back work and the headphones have been tested in these are working correctly multiple headphones have been check all with the same issue that the sound doesn't play on the front jacks. I think it may be due to a driver issue and I have tried uninstalling the driver although unsure I did it correctly as after the PC started the devices still appeared in the device manager.This is the only real information I have,Device settings for S

  2. Headphone jack no longer working with Realtek.

    When you plug in your Head set the Mic goes in the red lack and the Headphone jack goes in the green jack. This will automatically cut the sound to the speakers. I am talking about the from inputs. The Realtek Audio Console can be downloaded from the store. Below are some images that may help.

    Playback through headphones in jack on Windows 10 not working

    Currently, on my Windows 10 PC I have the following strange behavior: my speakers and my USB headphones both will play sound fine, but my headphones in the headphone jack do not play sound. Additionally, my headphones are not listed under playback devices when they are plugged in.

    What I have tried so far:

    1. Restarting Computer
    2. Double-checking volume mixer to make sure I did not accidentally mute my computer
    3. Right-clicking sound icon and following all steps in “Troubleshoot Sound Problems” and restarting
    4. Troubleshoot Settings → additional troubleshooters → playing audio and following all the steps
    5. Going to Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers and uninstalling either Realtek Audio Device or High Definition Audio Device and restarting
    6. Going to Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers and selecting “update driver” on High Definition Audio Device
    7. Updating OS
    8. Downloading drivers from the manufacturer of my computer and restarting
    9. Going to Realtek Audio Console → Device Advanced Settings → toggling “Disable front panel jack detection” on and off and testing
    Edit: The headphones work when plugged in to another Windows 10 PC and plugging in different headphones to my headphone jack did not seem to fix the issue.

    Edit 2: When I put my headphones in the jack, sound stops coming through the speakers. When I installed a different driver (the one installed by the sound troubleshooter, not the one from the computer manufacturer), my headphones appeared in the list of devices, but no sound comes out.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of anything else I could try? Any help or tips are very much appreciated.

    headphone jack

    Headphone jack stopped working last night.

    Plugging in headphones DID give the "you just plugged..." message, but the speakers kept playing and no sound from headphones.

    Restarted: no change

    There is no headphone option showing in the device/sound setup, so can't enable it there.

    Disabled all sound devices, powered down, restarted

    Re-enabled all visible sound options, but no headphones option available.

    NOW:

    Speakers fine.

    No headphone option anywhere I can see.

    And now I don't even get a message when I plug the headphones in. Neither for the headphone jack, nor the microphone jack. Last night I got the message, just not the result. Now I get nothing.
