Windows 10: CANNOT Get Front Panel Jack to Work, NOR Disable Front Jack Detection

I've been wrestling with this **** all day and I'm very frustrated, to say the least. I've never had much of a problem with Windows 10 and I tend to like it, for the most part...

But, now that Realtek's decided to stop ******* supporting its HD Audio Manager and just removed the program altogether, it's causing me REAL ISSUES.

I want to try using a headset with a 3.5mm jack plug (TSSR), but nothing happens when I plug it into my front jack. (Actually, I don't even HAVE a back jack.) My PC doesn't recognize it, period.

I've tried practically everything I could find online (registry editing, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers both older and current, etc.), but these solutions are all 2+ years old and nothing's working for me. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Front panel jack doesn't detect Headphones

Hi,

In the previous versions of Windows, this feature is auto detected. To better assist you, please answer the questions below:

• Have you tried connecting a different headphones to the front panel jack?
• Did the PC detect the headphones when it was connected at the back panel jack?
• Did you encounter an error message, when the headphones are connected to front panel jack?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

 

Jacks on back panel are not detected


I have updated my OS from build 9879 to 10130.
As always the back panel jacks weren't detected so I went to the regedit and looked for 'ForceDisableJD'. (worked in previous builds.)
And there's the problem. I have no value 'ForceDisableJD' in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/ControlClass/{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/000/Settings'.
I tried to install drivers from realtek's site and my motherboard's.
After each reinstallation of drivers there were changes in the values and keys but there still wasn't 'ForceDisableJD'.
I also tried to change the build to 10135 but I didn't meet new results. *Sad

I have to disable jack detection but I don't know how to do it. *Sad

 

Jacks on back panel are not detected


I have RealTek and it is working perfectly, including rear panel jacks.

Exactly what indication are you getting for the jacks? Your System Spec's would really help us to try and help you.
