Headphone jack not recognized;also no Realtek HD Audio Manager
Here's the sitch: took an extra fan out of my ASUS, restarted it, and suddenly my computer doesn't recognize when I plug my earbuds into the front jack. Weird, so I check to see what device is the default audio input, and oddly, it's an audio cable. Headphone option is greyed out because it doesn't detect that any headphones are plugged in. All the threads I've seen on this issue either deal with laptops or tell me to use my Realtek HD Audio Manager. I think, okay, I'll go use that. Oops, turns out, I don't have a Realtek HD Audio Manager and the Realtek site wasn't much use in acquiring one. So how in the hell do I fix this? It's incredibly frustrating.
