Windows 10: Windows 10 will not disconnect laptop speakers when earbuds are plugged in.

If the earbuds are plugged in, the laptop speakers are still active and do not disconnect. I have had two different Windows tech's remote into my laptop. The reloaded the sound driver and updated the BIOS. The problem is still there.

Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds


I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

• In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
  
• In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
  
• In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab

So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?

 

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.

 

MSI Laptop speakers 'not plugged in'.

Hey all, I'm trying to get my Wife's MSI GE62 6QF Apache Pro gaming laptop to resolve a sound issue.

Right now the sound icon has a red x and says 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. She's only had this issue recently after I uninstalled a program that was giving her some frustration called 'PowerDVD12'.

I've tried:

* Updating the drivers

* Uninstalling the drivers and updating them

* Uninstalling the drivers and resetting laptop

* Uninstalling the drivers and updating them via the 'choose a file from your computer' option

Some things to note:

* The speakers work when I 'Test' them, I get 3 dings from the left speaker followed by 3 on the right, so they're functioning; the same thing happens with earbuds plugged into the laptop, 3 dings in the left earbud followed by the right.

* When I select them in 'Playback Devices' and set them as default, as soon as I close the window they are no longer set to be the default.

* Sound still will not work if I leave them selected as default but refrain from closing the 'Playback Devices' window.

* Her Bluetooth headset shows up under devices, and is showing as connected, but is not an option under 'Playback Devices', even with 'Show Disabled Devices' and 'Show Disconnected Devices' options selected.

EDIT: I've also tried enabling onboard sound though the BIOS, but there's no option to do so. Are there different versions of BIOS that I can access? If so I was hitting the DEL key to access the BIOS.
