Windows 10: Windows 10 - Audio Jack not detected without rebooting

My headphones/mic work perfectly under normal circumstances PROVIDED the jack is plugged in at startup.

Whilst the machine is running, if I unplug the audio jack, the system quite correctly reverts to internal speakers and PC mic.


Now: if I start my machine up WITHOUT the audio jack in place, all is fine PC speakers and mic - but if I THEN insert the jack, the insertion seems not to be detected... my system continues to use the main speakers and PC mic. Only by rebooting the whole machine with the jack still in place does the system start to use the headphones with integral mic.


So in simple terms if appears that my machine does not respond to insertion of the audio jack whilst running - but does recognise removal of the jack whilst running.


It is very inconvenient to have to reboot the whole machine to use the headset if I forget to ensure that the jack is plugged in when first switching on - and I don't want to use the headset all the time by leaving the jack in place continuously.


Please don't suggest reinstalling drivers and the like - all drivers are working satisfactorily - it's the DETECTION of the presence of the jack that's not working correctly if it is inserted 'in flight'.


Surely this must be a simple situation to resolve.....


Cheers!

Windows 10 usb-audio jack headset, audio jack not detected

Hi, I recently updated my Windows from 7 to 10 and since I updated my headset (Turtle Beach px22 Shadow) not working correctly.

It has 2 cables, an audio jack and a usb. The usb is working fine, but if I want to use the headset's amplifier properly I have to connect both cables to my computer, but It cannot detect the audio jack. When I plug out my headset from the amplifier, then
I've got a smaller audio jack and If I plug that in, it works. Before I updated my Windows, It worked perfectly.

Thanks for help!

 

How to disable audio jack detection Dell e7400 Windows 10

I have a Dell e7400 (Win 10, 64bit) with broken headphone detection. The headphones are normally supposed to turn on when they're plugged in. However, i need to restart my computer with the headphones plugged in to have it detect the headphone and play sound via the audio jack.
I've tried updating the audio drivers many times wihtout luck.

Therefore I'd like to control this feature manually and force the sound to come out of my headphones all the time.

I've found registry keys that can be edited for Windows 10.

1. Press Windows Key + R.
   
2. Type regedit, press Enter.
   
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0007\GlobalSettings.
   
4. Right-click the REG_BINARY EnableDynamicDevices, click Modify, and set it to 0.
   
5. Reboot.
   

I did not have the REG_BINARY EnableDynamicDevices in ' \0007\GlobalSettings', however, it was in '\0013\GlobalSettings'.
After changing to 0, and reboot, no difference.

I've read somewhere that this might be because my machine is still using the realtek driven and i would need the original windows 10 audio drivers.
"High Definition Audio" (native driver). Source: (https://www.dell.com/community/Lapt...nd-not-coming-through-headphones/td-p/4639683)

However, i've tried uninstalling the Realtek driver without succes and cannot find the windows driver for Dell e7400 on my machine/online.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the Realtek driver and/or change registry setting that even with realtek driver audio jack detection is turned off?
