    Plug broke off in rear speaker jack: front headphone jack disabled now


    On my desktop a 3.5mm plug broke off in my rear speaker out jack.
    And now when I try to use the front headphone jack it doesn't work.
    Did the broken plug in the rear disable the front headphone jack?

    Can anyone help with either problem?
    thanks!

    :)

    Rear audio jack is very quiet with headphones plugged in

    My front audio jack broke so now I'm trying to use my rear audio jack to plug my headphones into. Windows is detecting the headset as
    Speakers "High Definition Audio Device" and it is set to the default device. I've gone through everything the windows troubleshooter has recommended and all that's on the Microsoft website about fixing audio. I believe that the problem is that
    Windows is detecting my headphones as speaker. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

    Headphone jack conflicts with bose??


    I dont remember installing software for the Bose. It's possible. But it is just used through Bluetooth.

    Right, there is no marked "headphone" jack on the rear of your computer BUT it is the same as the Speaker jack, usually light green and usually the middle jack of three or maybe you have 2 rows of jacks. Not all motherboards use exactly the same layout but most use the light green jack for speakers/headphone. Plugging speakers or headphones into the front jack should cut out any speakers plugged into the rear jack.

    Did you have to install software for the Bose? That may be taking control of things.
