Headphones Plugging and Unplugging constantly bug

[newbyb0y]

My problem is this, my motherboard is Biostar TP67B and I have downloaded the sound drivers from the manufacturer website which is realtek high definition audio.However, If i had left my headphone plugged into my front panel jack and when I restart my computer, the headphone icon keeps flickering saying its plugged and unplugged constantly when it is in fact plugged in. I had tinker around a little bit and I have no idea how to fix this problem now. Its going bad to worse as it unplugs itself randomly now. I'm trying to go for a full reinstall of my sound drivers.

Have you tried a different headphone? Maybe the headphone and not the PC or headphone jack.

If not the headphone, check the connection from the front panel at the motherboard, May be a bad connection there. Reseat (unplug then plug back in) the connector at the motherboard. If it still has problems I would suspect the front panel headphone jack, or the wiring.

I have just reinstalled the latest sound drivers and it seems as if the driver does not even detect my headphones at all but it detects the microphone instead.

Okay tested with another headphone,my microphone is the only one detected but my headphone is not detected at all. However my speaker remains detected throughout me changing my headphones
Also,it seems as if my headphones is detected as 'Speakers' instead

Reseat the front panel audio connector at the motherboard (power off the PC first) and see if that helps.

Try Downgrading it again, That's the problem of drivers updates sometimes there will be a problem.

OP should check the front panel connections to the motherboard, these maybe all together as blue connector or individual singles usually black plastic and labeled.

Headphone jacks going bad is pretty common, cheapo wiring and solder...

To avoid it, if you unplug/replug a specific jack a lot, buy a very short extension cable whose jack will then absorb all the abuse and of course try the offending headphones in another device, these things don't last forever.

okay, I just plugged and unplugged my HD audio connector to my mobo.Nope it does not work, my headphones is still detected as 'speakers'. However, the connector seems to be working fine to me as it still detects the microphone jack from my headphones properly though.

@faladu, I don't like unplugging and plugging it in often, it becomes a hassle. At first, I left it plugged in for 2 days before I have encountered the problem as I had originally posted, my headphones would be identified as plugging and unplugging itself in the driver management menu. I could only rectify this problem by constanly plugging out my headphone jack and plugging in when i need to use it.
@Razer2K13, I will try downgrading to the original version that was included on my PC installation CD which included all the drivers for my mobo and notify you later.
@Razer2k13, I have downgraded and it seems the mobo still detects it as speakers too, no difference.

Also, I just want to say, I don't like the idea of replacing the whole thing completely cause its just my headphones, I can opt for getting a microphone only and working with speakers. Also, I don't know how to solder and replace parts specifically, i just wanted to know if there is a solution to this or a workaround to this.

I have just used r271.exe to remove my previous installation but I did not install any new version after the reboot and it seems that the driver management now detects my headphones again albeit the same problem as I stated above still persist but this returns me to ground zero,why does the updated driver not detect my headphones but I can still hear sound playing through it but it falsely detects my headphones as 'speakers'. Much appreciated for the response.

So no solutions huh?

 

[newbyb0y]

Hello? The problem still persist after everything. There isn't any problem with the chips on the motherboard, I still get audio out of it. The problem is with the front panel jack itself, it keeps disconnecting the headphone speakers and connecting again.

 

[newbyb0y]

I have not updated my drivers because the updated realtek drivers does not even recognize the headset at all.

If you use Realtek HD Audio with front & back panel jack, and you got a "plugged / unplugged device message" , here`s the simple solution for this problem.
