Headphone Jack Not Working After Windows 7 Install
Jun 4, 2011
After my desktop with XP crashed, I recovered along with a clean install of Windows 7. The processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo with the onboard audio device showing Microsoft as the manufacturer. The front headphone port worked for about a week after the recovery, then just stopped. Moving the headphone jack to the rear port continues to work fine. I plugged the speaker jack in the front port and there is no sound, same as the headphones.
To troubleshoot I've tried the "Update Driver" and MS says I'm using the most up-to-date driver. Where you view what devices are recognized by the sound system it displays a speaker icon, but there is no option to add headphones. The desktop is a custom-built one (not an HP, Dell or Lenovo, for example). I don't know if this audio problem is a hardware failure or related to the Windows 7 install.
when i plug my headphones they are recognized and everything but just say i watch a Internet video with commentary i can faintly hear the commentary but mainly what i can hear is some kind of music that is not related to the video. but if i watch it without headphone there is no music.
So I just got an update for Windows and after the update my headphones stop working. Sound still works with the integrated speakers but whenever I plug in my headphones they don't work. I've tried making the headphones the default device and that didn't work. I have BeatsAudio on my computer so I would like to know which driver update I need to try and fix the issue.
I have an Hp625 running Windows 7 Basic 32 bit - I can play music through my laptops built in speakers without any problems, but when I plug headphones (or external computer speakers) into the headphone jack no sound comes through them (and simultaneously the laptop speakers go mute). My computer is dual boot with ubuntu, and this problem appeared when I upgraded my Ubuntu version - still, I know that the jack works as it is working fine in Ubuntu, and Im sure the problem is fixable within windows!
My computer is using the IDT audio control panel, and according to windows everything us up to date and fine.
I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB4E4E. Just re installed windows and now I have no sound output through headphone jack. Installed the Realtek HD Audio driver from the sony website
I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit. In XP, I used the front panel headphone jack for hooking up to my TV, or headset. Since I've upgraded, this headphone jack doesn't work. The 'Manage Audio devices' in the control panel shows headphones as not connected in the front jack. The microphone works fine.
I've tried looking for updated drivers - I have the latest. I tried to switch the BIOS settings from HDaudio to AC97 - doesn't work. I tried to install the Soundmax High Definition Audio utility from my motherboard installation disk, but Windows 7 won't let me run the setup (not compatible with the OS).
My Moterboard is asus m2n68-am plus , problem is that in windows 7 my front audio jack not working.ihave tried many latest realtech audio drivers but nothing , the problem is still continue.
I'm having a problem with my Front mic jack not working, I can't tell if it's my mic, or the jack itself it's kinda upsetting because i do a lot of online gaming and can't speakwith them, and i sometimes do commentary! My computer:
Acer Aspire 5733Z Intel Pentium (R) P6200 2.13 GHZ. 4GB RAM 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium
i was wondering my speaker jack worked part of the time then quit is there anything i can do to make it make contact? You can here it go in and half way it hums
i bought a new computer 1 week ago windows 7 home prium model#h8-1124- i installed the magic jack that i had for 2 years and it worked for 2 days. now i cannot make or recieve calls and the computer won't let me access the majic jack website to truoble shoot problem.
Last month I built my own computer. I am having a problem with my Front I/O audio jacks.- Headset is Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD- I have went into BIOS and enabled my Front I/O- My front I/O is properly connected to my Motherboard- My driver is Realtek HD R267 (Newest driver)I have looked up this problem for quite some time but can't find a way to fix it. People have said to go into Realtek Audio HD Manager and click on the folder next to analog and untick disable front detection. I don't have this folder
My cpu front panel headfone&speaker jack is not working.If iam inserting headset &mic its not detected.if i am connecting it from back then it is working.Is it a hardware problem or software problem.................?I have checked out my cpu internal connections by removing the cabinet .Every thing is connected internally
I built a barebone kit and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, I installed all the drivers correctly but for some reason Windows keeps detecting the front audio jack as if someone is repeatedly pushing in and out headphones(no pun intended). Audio doesn't work at all through front and back audio jacks, only HDMI. I only get static from the audio jacks.
A few days ago, one half of the jack of my external speakers got stuck in the female jack of my PC laptop.I am using Realtek HD audio, and I wanted to ask whether it is possible for me to somehow disable the jack and have my audio played through my normal inbuilt laptop speakers, seeing as I will be needing audio from my computer as soon as possible.
My headfone jack (incorporated on the motherboard) is broken, and I bought a USB adaptor to conect my head fones, but it has a low quality.I came to know that it's possible to switch the microfone jack to use it has a audio jack, but I cant figure or research how. I use windows home premium 64bits.

Here is a snapshot of my audio devices - and as you can see the speakers and headphones are under one device so I can't switch between the two.
Basically, my HP DV6-3065EA running Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) laptop died. I went into a computer shop and asked how much a simple diagnostic test would be to find out how much a repair would be. He quoted me 90. Phew, jog on! That wasn't going to happen!Anyway, I decided to replace the power jack. No hard job, just a simple unplug and plug back in job. (looks abit like this Hp power jack image by chikyeung on Photobucket). I replaced it; everything is running fine. I tried to put a USB pen drive into a usb socket. Didn't work. Tried another, didn't work. I have tried several devices and they all work on other computers but don't seem to be working on mine. I have been trawling the internet for answers, and as of yet, nothing -.-! I wouldn't call myself a novice, trust me, I've tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling all of the USB drivers, checking bits of the registry.etc. Nothing. So today, i thought, right, WIPE THE COMPUTER! I backed up everything, went back to scratch.
I have a new, custom build and cannot get the front audio to work. The two USB ports along side the Mic and Headphone jacks work fine.
System Specs The motherboard is a GA-990XA-UD3. Chipset AMD RD9XO Rev 02. Southbridge AMD SB10/950 R40. Bios Award Software Ver F8 CPU: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T Black Edition Tuban HDT90ZFBGRBOX Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB 4 x 4GB CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 OS: Windows 7 (6.1) Home Premium SP 1 (Build 7601) 64 bit. Direct X 11.0 Don't think it makes a difference but I am running displayport out of the graphics card (Zotac 560 ZT-50701-10M) into the monitor (NEC PA241)
I downloaded updated drivers for the Reatec HD Audio Manager but that made no difference. Audio out from the back panel works fine.
I've just installed Win 7 on my Toshiba M100. After installation, the sound driver (Realtek HD Audio) is automatically detected and it works in a very riddiculous way:- In the Sound Setting --> Playback tab --> There're TWO speakers, both are High definition audio device and look exactly the same. If I set the first speaker as default, then I can hear sound from the laptop's speakers but when I plugin my headphone, I can not hear anything !!! If I set the second speaker as default, then the laptop's speakers doesn't work, but when I plugin my headphone, I can hear sound from my headphoneThis is very riddiculous and annoying, having to switch default sound device everytime I plugin or take out the headphone is almost absurd
I have a Touchmate PC with two sets of audio ports (3.55mm jacks or 1/8" ) the front ones are not working (because they are disconnected) so i wish to use the rear ones, however, windows is set up so that the audio output (into my headphones) send information through all ports but the front mic, which is fine because i use the rear output port. My problem is that the microphone settings will only allow the microphone to be read through the front microphone port. Is there any way i can change these settings so that the microphone reads through the rear microphone port.
my upgrade to Windows 7 caused a huge loss in sound performance for me. I don't have a speaker system anymore, I live in a barracks so I only use headphones. It seems as though my headphone quality has diminished to that of a default set of ear buds that come with a cheap cell phone.I can't get the headphones to register in the Realtek HD Audio Manager either. It shows the digital output, and digital output(optical), but not my headphones. The headphones were previously shown in the Realtek HD Audio Manager before, and that is where I adjusted them to have beautiful sound. I've tried updating the drivers, reverting back, moving them around, etc. The headphones WORK, but they sound terrible. I literally get better sound quality plugging my headphones into my Iphone and listening to Pandora.
Here's applicable information for you guys:
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 Audio drivers: 6.0.1.6251 Headphones: Sound Blaster Arena SB's with detachable mic OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
Additionally; I'm receiving my pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50's tomorrow, they're using a 3.mm jack instead of USB so maybe that will change things up I'm not sure.
I've been at this for about six hours and I am stumped. I have no sound coming from any jack on my computer via the onboard soundcard or the front jack. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers from my mobo's disk and went through the realtek website and tried every driver I could find there. The system recognizes the speakers and shows them as putting out sound, but I get nothing. I've even ran through the BIOS to make sure nothing was amiss there.
My audio jack or headphones on Dell Vostro 1015 do not produce sound. The computer recognizes and displays that a headphone has been inserted. The in-built speakers work well. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the high definition audio drivers. I have tried to troubleshoot it with the Windows 7 Professional 32 bit troubleshooter but it does not work. It was working well until a few days ago. I have done a sfc/scannow on it.
