Windows 10: Realtek HD Audio Manager - Back Panel greyed out

Hello,


I am trying to disable to jack detection of the back panel.

I'm trying to connect my 3.5mm jacks of my headset there and it doesn't seem to be working.

Same with my front. When I disabled my front jack panel detection, it allowed me to connect my headset.

However the front panel mic isn't working properly, all crackly and no audio in. I know headset is working, so want to try and disable back panel jack detection.


My current realtek HD audio manager settings are:


Playback Device:

Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously.

Recording device:
Separate all input jacks as independent input devices
Also:

Disabled front panel jack detection
Disabled auto popup dialog, when device has been plugged in.


I have tried changing those settings to no avail.

I have also tried:

1. Changing settings of the sound control panel. Back panel detection on = I can't do anything there

2. Reinstalling realtek drivers from my motherboard's website (MSI 970 gaming)

3. Disabled and re-enabled on-board audio drivers.

4. Disabled Realtek digital in sound control panel


Thank you

:)

 

Realtek HD audio manager not found in Windows 10 notebook

Hi,

It seems that the DTS Audio Control Panel is the software that manages your Realtek HD Audio Manager. For us to verify this, please go into Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. Under the Notification area, click Select which icons appear on the taskbar. If
this page shows the information as shown in the screenshot below, then it is indeed the software that manages your Realtek audio card.





If you preferred using the RealTek HD Audio Manager, then we suggest that you get in touch with the device manufacturer for assistance.

Let us know if you need further information.

Regards.

 

Realtek HD Audio Manager thinks that headphones are a microphone

The headphones have no microphone attached to it. There is only one cord/plug.

I have popup enabled for when Realtek Audio Manager finds a device.





The ports being greyed out mean that there is no device plugged in (that it can notice). If a port is black, like in the above screenshots, that means Realtek HD Audio Manager believes something's plugged in there. The problem is that the Audio Manager thinks
the headphones are plugged into the microphone port, but they are actually in the headphone port.

If I go over to the microphone tab like you suggest, nothing changes.
