    Assign Headphone Jack to 1 of 2 Sound Cards?


    I have an RealTek internal PC sound card and a SignaLink USB external sound card for digital amateur radio communications with my HAM radio system.

    Whenever I plug headphones into the PC headphone jack, it commandeers the external sound card instead of using the internal sound card.

    Is there a way to assign the headphone jack to the internal sound card "permanently?

    audio jack problems

    Hi,

    Windows allows disabling of a certain port if you want to or if you need to. To disable a headphone or speaker audio jack, kindly follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Sound or Volume icon on the lower-left side of your screen.
    • Select Playback devices.
    • Right-click on the playback device that you want to disable and click
      Disable      .

    To disable a microphone jack:

    • Right-click the Sound or Volume icon on the lower-left side of your screen.
    • Select Recording devices.
    • Right-click on the recording device that you want to disable and click
      Disable      .

    Also, we recommend taking your PC to a technician for the removal of the audio jack that is stuck so that, you'll be able to use the port again.

    Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.

    Assigning one jack to one sound device

    Does Windows log when you plug in / unplug an audio device from a 3.5mm jack?

    When an audio device is plugged/unplugged from the 3.5mm jack, does Windows log that anywhere?

    Not by default. You have to write an app to detect plug in/plug out. Note the jack has to support jack-presence detection.

    See Device Events - Windows applications | Microsoft Docs for more information and sample code.

    You can extend the sample code to log to a file or create a custom user define event in the event log.

    Suggestion:

    • Add code to use your built in webcam to take a photo of the culprit.
