Apparently my computer no longer recognizes my headphones - when I plug them in nothing happens, sound continues to come from the computer speakers but nothing from the headset. This was working fine until I upgraded to Win 10.
View 5 RepliesWhere I work, the IT department made the mistake of purchasing computers with built-in speakers. We do not want the speakers to function at all, only any sound put through the headphone jack. After disabling the speakers, we found that YouTube no longer works, which is a problem.
That said, is there a way to permanently disable the speakers, leave the headset jack enabled and still allow YouTube to continue playing videos even if a headset is not plugged in?
Since receiving the Win 10 Home upgrade my computer no longer recognizes the DVD drive. It doesn't show in Device Manger or in the device list in This PC although it does spin up if you insert media into it. I've tried all the suggested remedies except messing with the registry and nothing works. This is one of several problems I've had with device drivers since the upgrade.

How can i switch between headphones and speaker use w/o unplugging my headphones? I'm trying to leave them plugged in all the time cuz i use them for gaming. My back IO plate has the standard 6 jacks. the board is a z77 mpower. My case has a front audio panel.
View 3 RepliesI have a laptop with one jack for headphones and microphone. The computer will not register headphones being plugged in. The speakers work fine and continue going when headphones are plugged in.
I have the newest audio driver and I can find no way to get the headphones to work. I don't know if it's the hardware, Windows 1-, the drivers, or something else.
So, a while back I had a problem on the Windows 10 Home Edition where it would not let me change my lock screen. Since I didn't have the pro edition, I couldn't change the policy in the registry editor because of a lack of one, so I transferred all my files to a local account. I then had the problem of programs asking me to enter my admin password every time I wanted to access certain protected programs, so I disabled the admin password so this would no longer happen. I then deleted the account which was considered the program and went on with my normal business on my PC.
Later, I restarted my PC, and when I went to login, it said my password was incorrect for my local account. I then went into my boot options, opened command prompt in safe mode and changed my admin password. I then restarted my PC and now I don't even have the option to login at all, coming up with the error message "Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator." Now this problem usually fixed by holding shift and pressing restart to access boot options, but I cannot do this.
Every time I press OK to go back to the lock screen, it instantly goes back to the administrator message, meaning I can't boot anything. I planned on doing a complete reinstall of Windows 10 using a bootable usb iso, but since I can't boot it, this isn't possible, unless I'm missing something such as a key allowing me to launch the boot options from launch, although I've tried keys such as f8 to no avail.
I can make default either speaker or headphone for listening sound. In windows 8.1, I used to get a message whenever I insert headphone, Whether headphone or mic as my socket is integrated for mic or headphone. If I select headphone, I can listen to sound. How to get it back. My machine is ASUS S400CA with VIA drivers.
View 1 RepliesSince the latest Win 10 update I can no longer get sound to come out of headphones.
Before when I plugged in headphones the speakers were turned off automatically. Now nothing happens when phones plugged in except the speakers continue to give audio sound but nothing from headphones.
I recently got a new monitor, an Eizo EV2750, which Windows only recognizes as a generic PnP monitor.
I've tried connecting it thorugh DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI without any luck. The often mentioned sollution, to unlplug everything and wait 10 minutes, does not work either.
The graphics card seems to read the EDID however, as in nVidia control panel it displays correctly as EV2750. Same thing with other applications, like DisplayCAL which I use as my color management system.
Seems like it's only an issue with Windows. This issue, however, also means that I can't get full functionality from the monitor. For instance, the ambient light sensor does not work (which is typical when Windows doesn't recognize the display properly).
For the first time I used headphones in Windows 10 Pro, and I found the normal Fn-F6 and Fn-F7 that adjust speaker volume do not work to adjust headphone volume - nor does the slider in the task tray. I can go into Control Panel and find the speakers and adjust them, and they are set as default. But it seems to me that in past versions (I came from Windows 7) when headphones were plugged in, the audio slider in task bar adjusted them - when headphones were not plugged in, it adjusted speaker volume. Do I have to go into Control Panel every time I want to tweak headphone volume? What am I missing?
View 6 RepliesWhen I play music through my laptop speakers, it plays well with bass but when connect and earphone or headphone to my audio jack, the music quality decreases and the bass of my headphone has extremely low bass. I don't know if it has to do with me updating to windows 10. I'm not sure. I have REALTEK HD AUDIO DRIVE.

View 1 RepliesI recently installed Windows 10. But the drivers for my VIA soundchip which came with the motherboard don't work with it. I am able to install it but when I try to run HDVdeck it doesn't open. It did work in W8.1. Any fix?? Or can I disable front jack detection any other way??
View 1 RepliesI recently built my pc about a week ago and when i play games, my pc screen crashes and the screen freezes (Explosions in Rocket League), I hear a buzzing noise in my headphones during the crash, and my pc reboots to windows like normal. I've run mem test 86, prime 95, deleted nvidia audio drivers, and installed every driver available for my mobo, gpu, and cpu, and the temperatures also were great when stress testing. I downloaded a program called Who Crashed and it showed me the reason for the crash. It is the same one over and over. It has to do something with Video Memory in the graphics card, but these errors are beyond my knowledge of computers. I am running Windows 10 64 bit.

On my HP pavilion notebook the end of the headphones is stuck in that jack, currently I have a tool coming to repair that. Is there a way I can disable my audio jack. Headphones is not coming up in playback devices. The only thing that is is. Speakers/HP. I tried installing realtek software it will not install. It says it is installing the headphones than I switch it to the speakers as the default but then it switches back to the Speakers/HP.
View 1 RepliesI just bought a new PC and installed W10 (previously was using W7) and when i plugged my headphones to front jack i did not have any sound at all. I googled for some time to find a solution and found that i have to check "Disable front panel jack detection" and i got the sound, BUT the sound was only in one side. When i was testing in Realtek HD Audio Manager it also played sound only in one side.
Headphones work fine so it probably is Windows glitch.also tried to uninstall & reinstall drivers for Realtek HD Audio.
My audio jack is not working. I have tried reinstalling the driver and nothing. My laptop's speakers stop working when I connect my headphones, but no sound comes out. They are not detected in the Playback Devices and the Sound Mixer does not pick them up. The Realtek audio manager can, although not by default, detect when my headphones connect, but again, no sound comes out. I have tried several jacks and none works.
View 1 RepliesPrior to a couple days ago, my system was setup in a dual boot configuration, with Windows 8.1 (not set as Default, but technically my "primary"), and the Windows 10 Technical Preview (Default) which I used to play around with as a sort of clean work environment. OS's were installed on physically separate drives.
A couple days ago, I successfully updated my 8.1 installation to 10. Dual boot still functioned properly, although this upgrade reset the 8.1-now-10 to Default OS.
Shortly after, I decided to wipe the Technical Preview drive, and do a clean install of the now-released 10, and reset my whole little work environment. After installation was completed, I immediately noticed that no boot menu presented itself, even for a moment. Additionally, in the Advanced System Options/Startup & Recovery, no other OS choices appear.
For some odd reason, there was ONE thing I did differently during this installation though: Normally, on a clean install, I will delete ALL existing partitions on a given target drive, and allow the setup to recreate them. However, this time -- possibly because the new-ness of 10 had me slightly confused -- I deleted only the primary data partition that contained the Tech Preview install, but left the System Reserved and OEM Reserved partitions. I'm unsure if this is the source of my troubles or not.
Regardless, as of right now, I'm unable to access my original 10-upgraded installation, and getting this restored.
As I'm sitting on a clean install of my 2nd OS, I've no problems with wiping it and trying again.
I have 4 partitions.
1 => System Reserved
2 => Win 10
3 => Win 8.1
4 => Storage
When I try to boot into the win 8.1 it gives me an error. Even after restoring the win 8.1. partition from a Macrium image.
What gives? Two days ago I decided I wanted to shrink the win 8.1 partition.
I made a macrium image of my Win 10 partition (because I'm not crazy) and I already had a macrium image of win 8.1. I started shrinking the 8.1 and the computer went unresponsive so I rebooted. I used EASEUS Partition Manager.
I found out later that the reason the computer halted was because the version of EASEUS I used was outdated.
I attempted to boot into 8.1 and was greeted with the error. (Will update this post presently with the picture.)
I updated EASEUS and successfully shrunk the 8.1 partition. I took that unallocated space and enlarged the WIN 10 partition. Still unable to boot into 8.1.
Used macrium to overwrite the 8.1 partition.
Computer refused to boot completely. No Win 10 or Win 8.
Macrium restored the Win 10 partition, and the Win 8.1 partition. Discovered something interesting. Macrium restored the partitions as if I had never shrunk the 8.1 partition and enlarged the Win 10 partition. Is it supposed to do that?
Still unable to boot into Win 8.
I created a dual boot system quite some time ago and all was well until.RTM partition was completely up-to-date. I had recently updated to Windows 10 Build 10251 on the Insider partition.I turned the machine off on Sunday January 31, left town, and returned Saturday February 6. All was well with the dual boot when I turned the system off before leaving. When I turned the system on last night, it booted directly into the Insider Partition. There seems to be no option to boot into the RTM partition.
View 9 RepliesMy laptop only has one combo audio/microphone jack, and I can't get the microphone to work at all. I just bought a new headset that came with an audio/microphone splitter specifically for the purpose of using it on this laptop. While the output works fine, the microphone input is absolutely ignored.
I am 100% positive this is an audio/microphone splitter (and not just an audio splitter) as it has 3 rings on the end of it (indicating that it is compatible with using a microphone), and one of the input jacks even has a microphone icon on it. Realtek Settings are nowhere to be found in Control Panel, and I couldn't seem to find anything in the system sound settings.
I have headset Genius HS-500X and it has 2 seperate cables for audio and mic. The problem is that my laptop has only 1 jack with headphones and microphone icon, so it should be a combo jack. About 2 months ago I've bought an splitter [URL] , that has one cable red and one green so it should work. It's the same as in picture. But when I plug everything in correctly microphone is not working and headphones have reversed sound, when sound should come from left side it comes from right. I've tried to reinstall software (realtek) many times, also bought another one splitter, but no success.
View 9 RepliesI am attempting to install W10 through USB drive. However as I go through the setup steps, at some point the mouse will start lagging and the setup goes stuck. I don't know if it's a memory problem since I have 3gb of RAM. However if the PC is turned off for a long time the setup tends to continue longer though eventually it goes stuck.
View 3 RepliesI'm using a Turtlebeach x12 headset and have had no problems with it for a few years now. When I upgraded to Windows 10 the audio on the headset was coming through fine but the mic wasn't working anywhere. Before you ask, I have the jacks plugged in the correct areas and the main thing is that they have worked before.
I decided to go into Realtek audio settings to try and make sure the connections tasking was correct and as far as I know they were. When the pink jack is plugged in I check 'Mic in' and when the green jack is plugged I check 'Headphones'. However the mic still doesn't transmit anything while the audio does work.
After that I uninstalled Realtek and upon restart new drivers for my headset were installed and the mic worked perfectly. However, upon powering on my computer again Realtek was re-installed and thus my mic was not working anymore, and now whenever I uninstall Realtek it reinstalls again.Now I don't know what to do as the mic simply doesn't work at all with Realtek.
Today, I reset my computer after struggling to get Kaspersky Internet Security reinstalled. After the reset, I was able to get it installed, but I have run into another issue (surprise, surprise). Sound does not output through headphones as it should.
The drivers are up to date (IDT High Definition Audio Codec and AMD High Definition Audio Device) as they should be. Windows even detects that my headphones are connected, but sound does not go through them unless I use the sound control panel to test the audio. Look at the screenshots for further details. It lists my headphones as the default communication device, and where it lists the speakers/HP option, it lists that as the default device. I cannot list the communication headphones as the default device, only default communication device.
Audio works through the speakers. Audio goes through the speakers even with headphones connected. The only time audio comes through the headphones as it should is when I test audio through them in the control panel. The headphones work just fine, and this issue did not exist before I reset my computer.

Yesterday Windows 10 updated and now my Aune T1 Mk2 USB DAC is no longer working. It shows up in the device manager and is recognized and the audio is switched to be playing through it, however there is not sound whatsoever in my headphones. I have tried a different pair of headphones and there was no change, still no sound.
