Please can someone help?

After reinstalling Windows 10 and completely restoring my PC the audio jack stopped working.

In the sounds it has a speaker option for
1x Audio Jack -REAR PANEL

but nothing for front audio jack. i tested the audio jack in the back it works fine and there is only 2x HDMI ports and only 1 works.
I have tried deleting the audio drives and reinstalling but nothing.
tried to check for an update.

- The 3x NVIDIA Output description says located in HDMI.
- The Speakers says location in rear panel..

trouble shoot only has options for THESE nothing for front panel

My Audio jack is not working

Hi,

Follow the below mentioned steps to fix the issue:

Method 1:

Run built in Audio Device troubleshooter

* Press Windows Key then type ‘troubleshoot’ and hit Enter

* Select “View all” on the left panel and run “Playing Audio” troubleshooter from the list and see if it works

Method 2:

Try updating the drivers and check if it helps

a) Open run command by pressing Windows key + R and type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotes) and hit Enter.

b) Spot and expand the “'Audio inputs and outputs'”.

c). Right click on the “High Definition Audio Device” and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer to check the problem fixed.

If there are no update available, download the drivers from the manufacturer’s website and install it on the system by uninstalling the current driver. You can uninstall the driver by following the same steps, and select ‘Uninstall’, instead of selecting the
“Update Driver Software” from the menu.

refer to the suggestion by Vipin from the following link and check.

Hi,

This can be due to software conflicts. To help you resolve the issue, change the settings in Realtek HD Audio Manager. Follow the steps below:

• Open Realtek HD Audio Manager.
• On the upper right corner, click the small folder icon.
• Beside the Disable front panel jack detection, tick the box next to it.
  
• Click OK.

Once done, try if the headphones will now work and produce sounds.

Give us an update with the result so we can provide further assistance.
