Realtek Mute Rear output when front input is plugged in

Ok so you have the phone plugged in the front? and the speakers in the back are muted? soo it'd make sense at theres no output .. go to the Realtek Manager and click device advanced settings and change it to " Make front and rear output playback two def......" another way to try to get the speakers tested is open WMP > Options > Devices Click on Speakers.

then change the default to your Speakers (not phone ones).

forgive me if im no help

Phone - headphones.
Sorry, I meant my telephone, mobile/cell made the bleepy noise, not the 'phones'.
Speakers at the back won't manually mute - I switch manually between headphones and speakers when I want to switch on the Realtek manager. That setting you've suggested is already ticked.

Nothing changed, speaker wise in WMP, songs play, no sound comes out, despite speakers being selected either when they are switched to default or specifically to speakers. Humm.

Hmm i also switch between my headphones and speakers also. but for one to get detected i had to 1st have one of course plugged in then plug in the other one and reboot and vice versa but since i bought USB Headphones it's easy switching between the two (no rebooting).. dunno really what to say :\

Well it was working fine until today, so, I will cross my fingers and hope it just sorts itself out, things usually do. If not, I may uninstall and reinstall the Realtek software and see what occurs.

Yeah sorry, I don't think changing software / re-installing is really needed though but who knows might work. as i see Product FRED's Manager is easy to understand

No setting has changed. As far as I know. Drivers are up to date. Can I used another sound manager if my device is Realtek?

necrophilia but still problems....


ok, i had the same problem upon changing my mobo to asus F1a75 evo

so with all my fingers crossed, i switched the pin on my chieftec case from ac97 to azalia, and in bios turned it to HD.

still the same problem. rear speakers dont mute when i connect the headphones.
