Windows 10: New computer build - No speaker or headphones were plugged in

The title explains it all. I've built myself a new computer and when i connect my speaker to the back or front of the tower it says it's unplugged. I've downloaded the latest Realtek audio drivers and have no other ideas on what to do.

Help?

:)

 

Headphones are not working and not showing up on playback devices

My headphones were working with my computer perfectly yesterday, but today I plugged in my headphones and the speaker continued to play (but only the speaker). I did a little searching online and found that a solution option was to make the headphones the
default device, but when I went to the playback devices tab in my control panel, my headphones weren't even there! All the "show disabled devices" boxes are checked off, yet the headphones are still not there when they are plugged in. Help! (By the way this
is a new computer and I updated the computer to Windows 10 on the same day of receiving it.)

Device Info:

Lenovo ideapad 100S

Windows 10

Realtek HD Audio Manager

 

Regarding No speaker or headphones are plugged in error.

Thank you for your reply,

As you suggested I used both your method, in 1st method I've uninstalled Realtek high definition audio from Sound, video and game controllers (well I don't have any Audio input and outputs menu)
in Device manager and then restart my computer but that wasn't any effective. so I updated it from the device manager but problem was unsolved.

Now in 2nd method, I have already tried all of realtek`s High definition codecs but lack was I didn't run compatibility mode. After I ran compatibility mode, every codec say compatibility mode is windows xp (service pack 3) and then during installation error
occurred (Install Realtek HD audio driver failure Error code 0001) which was never occurred during the normal mode.

well I use ASROCK G41C-VS (Intel G41) motherboard and Pentium(R) dual-core cpu E5700 @3.00GHz and I'm using 32 bit windows on 64 bit pc. (if it help in this matter). and yeah I had already installed realtek high definition audio R2.81 from manufacture`s
website but results were the same.

If I rolled back to windows 7/8 this problem will be solved? I'm desperate without audio its been a week since I upgraded to 10.

 

What type of speakers, 2.0, 5.1 ? Assuming you mean plug the headphones into the front ? Sure connected wires from the case to the motherboard correctly for front audio.

 

Did you try this : Realtek control panel:

 

Works with hdmi. Will try that later.

 

Yep meaning also the wires in the case for front panel were connected correctly to the motherboard too ?
If the wires from the case are connected correctly to the motherboards Audio when you plug in headphones you have to go to Sounds and make it the default device to hear it. I never plugged speakers in this front jack usually marked Headphones. See in my pictures the headphone icon enabled but not set to default yet.





If you connecting headphones to the Sound device input then it will be within the Realtek software you make the switch, believe you using integrated sound device i would have to look again at the connections.

For speakers since only 2.1, Stereo Speakers plus a Subwoofer i assume, green connector is used for the Stereo Speakers and orange or black for the Subwoofer.

 

That depends on the brand of speakers jds63.

I've gor some Logitech stereo speakers which connect to the subwoofer then have only one lead which connects to the green connector.

 

True. Little we know here about the speakers, wires and if using a PCI sound device, the motherboard i looked it up to go by the integrated card.

 

Ran into a bigger problem. Woke up, pressed the power button on my case and got a blank desktop but the windows sign and all the other things at the bottom were there. Restarted my computer and got a black screen with a mouse cursor on it. Ive read up on it and seems theres quite a few people with this issue. Im unable to go to my bios screen as upon starting up my pc theres not boot screen or windows logo straight to the black screen with a moveable mouse cursor. Tried logging in and doing ctrl alt delete, all these other things and nothing worked... What do i do?

Or not, resolved this issue by letting it idle on that black screen, clicked the on and off button on my case it powered up!

 

This is what i get for my Realtek HD Audio Manager from the Control Panel. Also, I plugged in my microphone and its not being picked up either. Going to check the wiring now. But the mobo's mic and speakers should work as its not being plugged into anything.

 

Checked my wiring -

This is where my HD Audio plugs into the AUDIO on the MOBO. This wire comes directly from the front panel.



I had the speaker plugged into the speaker on the mobo but I think this is to test for errors on the PC with the sound of beeps so I removed it. (correct me if im wrong)






After doing so, It still stated my microphone was not plugged in; even when plugging it in both mic ports.

 

First picture: Yes that's for front sound IO and judging by number of wires, it is HD Audio, not AC97.
Second picture: It is for warning speaker for POST and other beeps. It has nothing to do with other sound like music etc. It should connect to black connector on picture 3.

 

Right so everything was wired correctly there are no other wires that need to be connected. So I'm guessing its a driver/software issue.

 

Yes it's probably something wrong with drivers, it should work at least with back connectors.
