Realtek HD Audio Manager - Back Panel greyed out

Hello,

I am trying to disable to jack detection of the back panel.

I'm trying to connect my 3.5mm jacks of my headset there and it doesn't seem to be working.

Same with my front. When I disabled my front jack panel detection, it allowed me to connect my headset.

However the front panel mic isn't working properly, all crackly and no audio in. I know headset is working, so want to try and disable back panel jack detection.

My current realtek HD audio manager settings are:

Playback Device:

Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously.

Recording device:

Separate all input jacks as independent input devices

Also:

Disabled front panel jack detection

Disabled auto popup dialog, when device has been plugged in.

I have tried changing those settings to no avail.

I have also tried:

1. Changing settings of the sound control panel. Back panel detection on = I can't do anything there

2. Reinstalling realtek drivers from my motherboard's website (MSI 970 gaming)

3. Disabled and re-enabled on-board audio drivers.

4. Disabled Realtek digital in sound control panel

Thank you

How do I disable audio jack detection In Windows 10 without using Realtek HD Audio Manager?

I have a headphone jack with a broken sensor - it only detects that my headphones are plugged in when I push or tilt them, and that's the only time I can get sound out of them. Therefore I'd like to control this feature manually and force the sound to come out of my headphones all the time.

I've found registry keys that can be edited for Windows 7 and 8 which give this functionality, but none for Windows 10.

Realtek's HD Audio Manager has a "Disable Front Panel Jack Detection" option which gives this functionality, but Realtek's skin for Dell motherboards, which my computer has, does not include this option.

So I was thinking: Perhaps this Dell skin is only cosmetic. If I could find out which registry key is changed when someone else checks the "Disable Front Panel Jack Detection" box in their Realtek Audio Manager, I could edit that same key on my computer, and achieve the same functionality.

Does anyone know which key this is?
