Windows 10: Headphone jack accidentally assigned to microphone

I accidentally entered my jack identification preference to microphone. I wanted to set it to headphone. I also disabled the preference where the computer would ask me for the jack identification preference. Now I don't know how to set it so I can use my headphones on the jack input. Please help

Assign Headphone Jack to 1 of 2 Sound Cards?


I have an RealTek internal PC sound card and a SignaLink USB external sound card for digital amateur radio communications with my HAM radio system.

Whenever I plug headphones into the PC headphone jack, it commandeers the external sound card instead of using the internal sound card.

Is there a way to assign the headphone jack to the internal sound card "permanently?

 

headphone and microphone jack not working

I am using windows 10 pro 16299, on an Acer laptop, the headphone and microphone jacks are one next to the other. I have been using Win10 for a long time, both devices worked just fine. Due to some reason, I reinstalled win10 OS yesterday, and both devices
were still working.

Today I left with my laptop on for an hour, when I came back, the headphone is not working, but if I unplug the headphone, the internal speakers do work fine. First I thought it was a driver problem, so I replaced the default driver (installed automatically
with the os), with Realtek one I found on Acer's support website, the problem remains the same, then I replaced wit with the latest version I found on Realtek's website, still the same problem. I can receive sound from the HDMI output headphone jack, and the
laptop internal headphone jack works under Linux.

Because I was not in front of the computer, I am not sure if something happened, but when I came back, there was no error or warning alert pop out window. Before I left, the system was seemed downloading some update, the headphone jack problem occurred before
I reboot and install the update.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

 

Headphone jack conflicts with bose??


I solved this myself. Turns out the headphone jack was not assigned to "headphones". So i had to go into the reltek settings and assign it. All is working great now!
