Windows 7: Sounds still plays through speakers when headphones plugged in

Ran into this issue just now. Found out I had plugged the wrong audio cable into my motherboard.



Check to make sure that you plugged in your case's HD Audio cable and not the AC97 cable. They should both be on the same strand of wires.

problem still not resolved. I keep getting the audio from the loud speaker even when the headphones are enabled. For example when skype login, i head a loud login sound. When someone sends a message ..it happens the same and so. It is very annoying at times. The headphones works also but i don't understand the loud speaker enabling from time to time.

Thanks.

I am having the same problem you are. My Sound/Playback tab looks the same with the only two options being the Speaker (Realtek) and Realtek Digital Output. However when I click under "jack information" I only get one option, which is listed as "ATAPI internal ATAPI jack". Last night I was able to get it so that sound was coming through both the headphones and speakers. I was able to mute the speakers manually, and that worked, but I accidentally reverted the settings.

I've also re-installed the drivers, but nothing seems to help the problem. I'm running this on a laptop, model ASUS U41S. Any help would be appreciated.

On that Realtek HD Audio Manager... Above the ANALOG word, there is an icon of a folder, click it!

make sure "Disable front panel jack detection" is off!

Works for me!

I don't have a folder above "ANALOG". There is text that says "Device Advanced Settings".

When I click on that, i get the option to tie up input jacks, or leave them the same. See the picture below.

As you can see in the first screen I have this folder icon, when I click it the second screen appears with "Disable front.."

I have a desktop, you have a laptop... Maybe you should try to search for drivers that have the folder icon.

let me try to help you... I can check if my drivers are good for your laptop...

At your screen you can see " i " button a little above the OK button... click it and tell me whats your Audio Codec.

Audio Codec: ALC269

OK... I looked at the inf file and found your codec there, maybe it will work...
try to download and install this:

good luck!

Installed the driver. Still doesn't work.

I'm thinking this is probably a hardware problem. I have linux installed and it also doesn't work in Linux.
