Headphones Do not Enable When using Multipurpose Jack
|
Rob Hudson
This laptop I have is equipped with one of those jacks that are supposed to include both a headphone and microphone component in one jack.
However, when I plug in a set of headphones, they do not enable; instead, sound still comes from the laptop speaker. I unticked the box that says, allow devices to take exclusive control over this device, box in properties. Unplugged and replugged the headphones. No luck. I disabled sound enhancements--although that likely wasn't the cause. No luck of course. Realtek Drivers are updated. Nothing. Is there a fix for this?

I think I solved it.

In my device manager, I found two entries: Intel® Smart Sound Technology (Intel® SST) Intel(R) Display Audio I turned these off, restarted, and I seem to have my headphone jack back again.

Perhaps, and it may not have been for this problem, but I've seen a lot of complaints about combination jacks. You may need to solve the problem by purchasing an external sound card or USB headphones.

That happened to my 12-year-old Bose speakers, which I gave

to Jim, replaced with Logitech and connected again. For years mine worked, but it quit, and that is frustrating to have a headset connected, yet the sound blares out of the speakers.
