Windows 10: No sound coming out of earphones (ONLY speakers work)

Today when I plugged in my earphones (the apple ones) and there was no audio at all, but somehow it worked totally fine without the earphones. Even realtek detected something when I plugged my earphones, I also went to device manager to check if every driver is updated or not but still ended up no luck.

things i know:
- Audio is perfect without earphones plugged in
- only 'Speakers' is shown as my playback device
- went to device manager and i'm pretty sure all drivers are up to date and enabled
- everything was working fine the last time i booted into my windows10 (dual booting with linux)
- realtek detected my earphone as it popped up a notification saying 'you just plugged a device into the audio jack'

if you need to know more about my computer just ask
please help

toggle earphone, loudspeaker

Hello Swen

is it possible listening to the radio without earphones(no antenna) plugged ?????.

the problem is : with the earphones plugged, the sound is coming out from the speaker and not from the earphones, and only when listening the radio,

it is working well when listening the MP3 music, the sound comes out from the earphones when it is plugged, and from the speaker when not plugged.

 

Speakers plugged in but not working.

Does sound come out of the speakers without the earphones plugged in?

 

Hey mate,

Find your laptop here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- 搜尋

download the audio driver for Windows 10, and install it. If it asks, tell it to install or repair. It will first uninstall your audio driver, require a restart, and then install the audio driver. If this doesn't fix it, see if behind the computer (the green audio jack) still works.

Let me know!

im unsure which OS i should choose since I've upgraded my OS to windows 10 from windows 7 and the only options they provide are 'win 7,8 and others'. I actually installed the latest realtek drivers from the official realtek website 'R2.79' and restarted but the earphones still won't work.
I'm starting to doubt whether it's to do with the drivers or is it something to do with the settings?

 

Your motherboard manufacturer provides the best driver for your board, but if they don't have it for Win 10, I would bet that to be the problem. But that is all I know about, someone else may have some advice for you shortly

 

Try the drivers from Microsoft Catalog. They are version 6.0.1.7592 and the R2.79 are version 6.0.1.7541.

Funny, I have the exact OPPOSITE problem right now after doing a clean install of Windows 10. No sound from laptop speakers, only head phones ...

 

Fix for most of the problems right here:

The response, "There are no Windows 10 drivers for my laptop", is why the minority aren't able to find a solution. There are exceptions, however.

I can't fix a bad driver, though! *Sad

 

I tried uninstalling the drivers, but they just came back - automatically re-installed. So I had to turn off the windows setting to automatically download driver software, then uninstall. I then used Lenovo's system update utility to download the drivers. It works now *Smile

 

LOL! That's really good news, thanks for the update. Those drivers WORK! *Biggrin

 

You would think they would be the same drivers *Smile

 

i can't download that file, the website only shows the microsoft update catalog image.

 

i tried to uninstall the realtek HD audio driver and rebooted which automatically reinstalled again but i still ran into the same problem...

 

Hi Applepie,
What settings do you have here.

Note to get to the small pic, your headphones must be plugged in then right click on the blue button in my case, yours might be different and select headphones.
