    VIA HD Audio doesn't switch between speakers/headphones


    This is just a small problem, but pretty annoying one.

    I recently updated to Win 10, and the first thing I noticed was that the sound settings were weird. Both speakers and headphone sounds work perfectly fine, but they don't automatically switch when I plug/unplug the headphones. I have to manually go into sound and set one device or another to default.

    Not too tech savvy, any help? *Shock

    :)

    Audio

    I have audio problems with the Win 10 final release.

    Dell Latitude E5520

    IDT 92HDxxx HD Audio

    1) If I use the built-in Win 10 driver ("High Definition Audio Device") I can hear speakers/headphone, and switching between speakers and headphones works fine BUT my laptop microphone IS NOT usable ("Not plugged in").

    2) If I use the latest driver from Dell (IDT 92HDxxx HD Audio Driver) I can initially hear through speakers but as soon as I plug in headphones I can't switch back to speakers (i.e. switching between speakers and headphones does NOT work) and my laptop microphone
    DOES work.

    I would be happy to provide more info and to assist in debugging.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    John D.

    VIA HD Audio doesn't switch between speakers/headphones

    I don't have a link but I've seen some posts that the VIA sound drivers need updating for Windows 10. May be the problem.

    I am also having VIA in ASUS S400CA. For me mic was not even working. Now after uninstalling and reboot helped mic to work. But however OP problem of speaker/headphone persists.

    I'm also having the same problem. I've played around with drivers, but couldn't get it to work. It seems silly having to manually switch the default speaker whenever I want to put in headphones.

    VIA HD Audio doesn't switch between speakers/headphones

    can you guys with VIA audio try this big driver package recently posted online? the zip file is almost 300Mb in size. VIA doesn't have that posted on the VIA downloads site and their web site does not even list Windows 10 on there.

    With that big driver package, the switch problem is fixed, but the mic doesn't work for me (Asus VivoBook S400CA with Windows 10 Home 64bit)

    Download the new windows 10 driver, it was barely released yesterday!

    VIA Drivers and Support Packages Download




    This solved the problem for me as well, it was really annoying until yesterday! One thing I've noticed wrong with it is HD Vdeck does not seem to work. I also had a problem where Audio Enhancements were creating audio problems, but it all seems fixed now ( below is an image of what it said added to the non automatic switching ). ** Just make sure your codec is listed before downloading and installing for example mine is VT 2021!**

    Mine is also ASUS S400CA. With new driver mic not working.
    I tried old method of uninstalling all drivers and rebooing. Then also mic is not working.
    Now more problem than solution.

    VIA HD Audio doesn't switch between speakers/headphones

    I had trouble with it not showing, I just reinstalled the driver over again and it worked. I had to do that twice I just finally did a clean install from W10 and it happened to me but it was an easy fix!

    It seems that VIA's site is updated. The following driver fixed things for me on my Asus S400C.
