  1. My HP is no longer recognizing my headphones


    My laptop is fairly new but I've had some issues with it before regarding software not properly installed before I bought it. Suddenly today my headphones have stopped being recognized and it sounds like initially they connect because there is a loud buzzing, which also is happening out of the speakers when I unplug them. Ive tried everything I can find to fix this. Ive uninstalled the driver and rebooted to make it reinstall, the driver is completely updated. Ive also attempted to make my headphones the deafault playback device but they will not show up, even after selecting "show disabled/ disconnected devices". The headphones work in other devices. And I can get them to work for a minute or two upon restarting which tells me its not a hardware problem. I am currently running driver verifier in hopes that will tell me something, please help!!

    :)

  2. Headphones recognized as Speakers...

    Hi Ahri,

    Having your headphones recognized as speaker when plugged in at the back of your PC could be the reason why the audio is low. To help us isolate the problem, we suggest running first the audio troubleshooter from the link Fix
    sound problems
    .

    In case the issue persists, then let's remap or retask your Realtek audio jack and see if it addresses the issue. To do that, follow the steps below:

    • Open the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
    • In the back panel, right click the option where your headphone is connected.
    • Choose the option Connector Retasking, then select Headphone.

    Feel free to update us with the result so we can further assist you.

    Regards.

    Headphones recognized as Speakers...

    Thanks for the Reply!,

    So i tried the Troubleshooting option, but sadly it didnt help, it still was Quiet and the Headphones are still listed as 'Speakers' in the Sound Options, Screenshot:

    So i tried to do the Realtek Steps,

    I opened the Realtek HD Audio Manager, then right clicked on the Green Jack (where my headphones are connected) but nothing happens.. I can double click and right click on it all-day, but nothing happens, nor any options open.

    Windows 10 not recognizing headphones in front panel jack

    Hello, I just upgraded my windows 8 to 10 as well and have the same issue. I already followed all the steps to update the software and it did not correct the issue. The computer no longer recognizes headphones or microphones.
