  1. No speakers Plugged In message in spite of all recommended fixes tried


    Following a weekend away with my desktop unplugged, neither my speakers nor my headphones will connect with my Dell Inspirion in spite of several restarts, use of the installed troubleshooter, and verification from the manufacturer that my driver is the latest version. I have explored a number of online recommendations (they eventlually repeat or refer to each other), none of which has worked. The desktop speaker lights come on when they are connected, but nothing works.

    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    Thank you.

    :)

    RE Speakers not plugged in message


    Sound at last....

    Dear God (with all reverence) I have spent over FOUR STRAIGHT HOURS trying to get any kind of audio out of new PC build running Windows 10 with a Gigabytes Z170XP-SLI motherboard getting that "Speakers not plugged in" message. Repeatedly went through Windows Audio Settings/Troubleshooter, Realtek Audio Manager, updating drivers, reloading drivers off the utilities CD that came with the motherboard, used two different sets of cables and speakers that work fine on other computers and tried to get sound out the headphones.

    Gigabytes inexcusably has NO trouble shooting section and I never heard back from the first support ticket I sent in for another issue the day before. Realtek Audio Manager opens when I plugged the speaker jack into the black colored jack that Gigabytes manual said to use for speakers so obviously Realtek's Audio Manager sensed the speakers being plugged in. I tried changing two of the settings mentioned; the set all input jacks as independent and one I read in another thread that counter intuitively involved enabling the front panel. Still nothing.

    I was about to give up when I remembered that my HP Media Center PC used the green jack for stereo out and switched the cable to the green jack that the manual says is a Line Out jack, ran the speaker test and I finally heard something besides my ill advised cussing for the last three hours. No idea if changing the other two settings played a role or if I just needed to ignore Gigabytes recommendation for using the black output and use the Line Out instead but I finally have sound.

    Not sure I will ever buy another Gigabyte product for their complete failure to have any kind of troubleshooting guide what so ever and having to go through a 30 minute process of looking up all the other hardware details on your PC each time you contact support before you can ask your question (even after creating a user ID that should be capable of saving all that information).

    Glad I found this thread and wanted to second the recommendation to try the green jack on the rear of your PC if you haven't yet even if your hardware manufacturer tells you to use a different one.

    Speakers playing when headphones are plugged in


    I have an HP laptop with windows 10. When my headphones are plugged in, the speakers are still playing. When I go to sounds, the only device listed is the speakers. How can I silence the speakers when the headphones are plugged in.
