Windows 10: No audio through any 3.5mm jacks or ports through an adapter; realtek hd audio is installed...

Want to start by saying I've done the basic troubleshooting; I've restarted my PC, checked for updates, tried to view hidden devices on my device manager, checked that realtek isn't disabled in my sound settings, I can't select it through my playback options, tested my headphones on other devices, etc. On my pc, I can listen to audio just fine through bluetooth, but I get no sound through either my front or back 3.5mm jacks, nor does my audio work when trying to use a USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter. It's been like this since I bought this PC but got lazy about fixing it because my bluetooth funct

Realtek HD Audio Rear Audio Inoperative With Front Audio Ports Connected

I just upgraded to Win10 and found that my Realtek audio subsystem appeared to be falsely detecting the presence of a front port headset. That disables the rear ports so the system appeared to have no audio. I did not have anything plugged in the front ports.

The default for the HD Manager is to mute the rear ports when a front panel headset is plugged in. I disassembled my front audio device and can test the mini jack and have verified that the jack in not malfunctioning. Additionally when I plugged in a microphone
to the front panel the port detection mechanization was confused and the port was oscillating between connected and disconnected quickly but not at a constant rate. Also the cable and front port I/O hardware work properly in another computer.

For now I have unplugged my front port audio jacks from the motherboard which stops the false detection and restores audio. An alternative is to change the setting that mutes rear audio when front jack connection is detected. I prefer the option that does
not leave a port in a bogus state.

As of 08SEP2015 I have all the latest updates installed.

My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H with a Realtek ALC-889A codec.

My Realtek driver is 6.0.1.5864

I realize that there still may be something else causing this issue but these tests are all I have to work with.

If anyone at MS is working on the drivers this information may help them.

Happy Trails

 

Windows 10 & Realtek HD Audio and Headphone jack not working

I have two different PCs that when installing the Realtek HD Audio driver the headphone jack stops working. If I uninstall the Realtek HD Audio driver everything working but then Windows Update re-installs the driver again and again. How can I fix this
issue? I don't want to turn off all auto updates. Thanks.
