Does the lumia 640 have a trrs audio jack

It has a 3.5 mm audio jack for stereo or stereo with mic, which is TRRS.

 

3.5 jack to stereo

I have a new to me laptop with Win 10. I have always used the headphone jack to play music on my stereo system. It is not playing right. only playing to 2 speakers. cant control volume on stereo, ready to give up. please help

 

Some new Laptops have a TRRS jack instead of the usual TRS jack. Have you tried plugging in without the 3.5mm adapter?

 

it has the standard mic and headphone (pink and green) 3.5 jacks and an adapter to converge to one 3.5. neither work. recently discovered it does go through the headphones when tested on the laptop testing program but attempts at utilizing it for games or the internet, it either doesn't work at all, or just comes through the computer speakers

 

With the headset unplugged, go to the Sounds panel. First the Recording section and if not set, set the "Stereo Mix" as the default RECORDING device. Most PC's have this, however a few vendors unfortunately have this disabled. If its not listed, RIGHT click in a blank area in the panel and then click to show "Disabled" and "Disconnected" devices. If available it will now show and you can make it the default recording device.

Go to the Playback section. Your "Speakers" (PC sound device) should be set as the Default Playback device. If not, make it the Default.
