Windows 10: Speakers not detected as plugged in and quit playing audio, but initially play sound

Relevant Specs are:
Windows 10 x64
Audio run through Realtek audio HD manager

MSI z170m Mortar Motherboard

Logitech Multimedia Speakers Z200/ rear panel audio
Logitech G933 headset/ usb bluetooth



I'm encountering a problem with a pair of Logitech speakers that I recently purchased. The speakers will not play audio, even though they are on and operational. I know they are operational because when I restart my computer they initially play sound, but will cut off soon after. If I don't immediately play audio, the speakers will not play sound later. My Logitech headset is fully connected and plays audio perfectly with no problems. At times the Logitech speakers will continue to play audio for no apparent reason. In playback devices the Logitech speakers are not listed as plugged in. It shows nothing is connected to the rear audio panel.

I believe the problem originates with the Realtek HD audio. If I start the Realtek HD audio manager I get a pop-up saying that a device has been unplugged. I have googled this problem and see many similar issues but none of the common solutions have fixed this.

-Realtek audio drivers are fully updated, Logitech drivers are fully updated, Windows 10 is fully updated.
-In the Realtek audio manager, I have disabled front panel detection, but the front panel still shows something plugged in(nothing is)
-In the Realtek audio manager I have tried changing the various settings such as separating all inputs as independent audio sources, nothing changes.
-My MOBO has an s/pdif optical port on the rear panel audio, nothing is plugged into it but in Sound playback devices it still lists the port and Realtek Digital Output as ready
-I have enabled or disabled all audio devices, nothing changes
-Unplugging and disabling my Logitech headset does not suddenly connect the Logitech speakers

Looking for anyone else who has this problem but is unable to fix it.

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.

 

Audio playing through speakers while headphones are plugged in

Hello,

We regret for the inconvenience and at the same time we appreciate the effort you have put in to resolve the issue.

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check what are the playback devices configured in Windows. Follow the below steps.

1) Open sound from Control Panel.

2) See if the devices are set correct in the playback window. Also, right click anywhere and choose show disabled Devices to find out if any of the devices are not configured properly.

3) Amongst the listed items disable and re-enable your headphone device and repeat the same steps for speakers.

Next, I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft Help link and check if it helps to resolve the issue at the first place.

Fix sound problems

Though unclear if you have already deployed the mentioned troubleshooters, I suggest you to follow these steps to run the Windows in built troubleshooter. This is a diagnostic which helps to identify any potential issues present
in your PC.

a) Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.

b) Click on Troubleshooting
tab.

c) Click on view all option on the upper left corner.

d) Select the Playing Audio option from the list.

e) Click Next to run the Troubleshooter

Note: Also use the Hardware and Device troubleshooter from the view all list,

If it still does not help, access the laptop manufacturer’s website and download the latest sound drivers, install it and check if it works fine and if it switches to speaker
automatically from headphones when it’s plugged in.

No sound while playing audio and video files.

Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
• Did you try the same on a different player?
• Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

• Right click on sound icon.
• Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.

If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.
