    Headphones are listed as speakers in Sound control panel


    Pretty much when I plug my headphones in from the back, into the green jack, it gets recognized as speakers, whereas when I plug it into my front 3.5mm jack labeled as headphones and microphones, it doesn't detect it at all, so it doesn't even say the speakers are in use.. I'm using onboard audio, and I have no audio drivers installed whatso ever. This started when I reset my computer a month ago, I don't know what happened, can anyone help?I'm just worried that this might damage my motherboard because I had a similar thing happen with my old computer, and it ended up damaging the headphone j

    No sound from speakers/headphones

    Disconnect the front panel headphone/mic jacks from the motherboard and then see if the rear panel GREEN speaker jack works (either with speakers or headset). This is in case the front panel jack is causing no audio out. Power off the PC before opening and disconnecting the front panel audio.

    The connector for the front panel audio is listed as #21 on the motherboard drawing (below).

    No sound from headphones but speakers work.


    Plug in the headphones. Click on the start icon and start type "sound". Open the sound control panel that appears at the top of the list. Do you have an entry in the list of sound devices that looks like it would be for the headphones?
