Can't get Rear Audio jacks to work While cable connected to front jack
I am fairly new with W7 so please excuse my inexperience with this.
I have headphones connected to front headphone jack (Dell Inspiron 560 W7 Home 64). I want to have cable connected to rear jack (for speakers in other room). I can't get audio from the rear if anything is connected to the front jack. I do get about one second with the rear pink jack and the yellow jack - but not the green jack - but after one second it stops.
The sound card is RealTek High Definition Audio, driver from 10/09 Vers 6.0.1.5963.
Note that when making a similar connection to my XP machine the RealTek card/jacks do play in both front and rear at the same time.
I have attached screenshots of the Control Panel ->RealTek image (annotated with mouseover text) and the Volume->Properties image.
