Windows 10 saying speakers "Not Plugged In"


Hello, I upgraded to Windows 10 fairly recently. Shortly after that I bought a GTX 1070 and put it in my machine. I also swapped one of my monitors from DVI to HDMI with the switch. As soon as I turned on my PC I had all sorts of system crashes and my speakers stopped working, always coming up as "Not Plugged In" even though they were. I finally had to reinstall Windows 10 and that has solved every issue except the speakers. Windows continues to tell me that they are not plugged in when they are. They are analog and I plug them into the correct lime green port. I plugged them into my phone and they worked fine. Windows has no problems detecting my USB headset as well.

I have tried:

• Multiple driver updates, rollbacks, uninstalls, reinstalls
• Messed with every setting I could in the Realtek HD Audio Manager
• Plugged speakers into both audio jacks on my machine
• Double-checking that everything was plugged in properly for it on the motherboard

I am just out of ideas at this point. Any help would be appreciated. At this point I'm wondering if the motherboard's sound card just broke or that the HDMI cable screwed it up.

 

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.

 

No speakers or headphones are plugged in Windows 10

Hello @claudsg,

The Red X normally indicates that the sound is muted.

Some other suggestions . . .

> Open the Settings, click System, select Sound, and run the Trouble-Shooter.
> Check that the speaker jack is correctly plugged into the correct socket of the computer.
> Check that the speakers are turned on and turned up.

I hope this helps.
