HP m7160n the front audio jack problem

I am running Vista Home on my PC Media Center m7160n.  I used to be able to plug my headphones into the front audio jack and it would reduce the rear speaker output.  Now it doesn't!  I entered the sound properties and is set to turn off the rear socket, when the system detects a card into the front socket.  The helmet still works, but I need the speakers off when using the headset.  I hope this is enough information.

Hi MrBassMan26,

It's weird and looks like the jack-detect is not working properly. This problem just started happening? It happened after installing anything, even a Windows Update?

If it just started happening, you can try to perform a restore of windows to an earlier point when it was operating normally. Or you could try to re - install the driver audio or even install a updated audio driver. Who should take care of it, and if not you may need to make some configuration changes in one of the sound properties (Windows or Realtek).

I see that you have Vista, you accidentally upgraded to Vista XP?

Try to install audio driver for Vista from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1 & PNid = 24 & PFid = 24 & Level = 4 & Conn = 3 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false

Let us know how it goes.

    What headphones do you recommend for Inspition 15 3000 series PC laptop? I have big problem with Plantronics with unfortunatelly and USB connector (it was excellent for many laptops up to now) the same with Logitech. I found very uncomfortable to use a connecton for microphone and headphones.

    Inspition 15 3000 Series notebook PC

    Inspiron 15 3000 series may refer to the model Inspiron 15 3542. If your model is the 3542, it has an audio jack headphone single (combo) that accepts a type of smart phone to the headset. The type has a unique segmented 4 taken (TAKEN) that combines the two headphone and headset plugs into a single outlet.

    Your laptop also ordinary (without microphone) helmet allows a standard taken 3 segmented (TRS).

    Do not take offense, but I can't understand what you're asking. You have a Plantronics usb headset that plugs into a port usb, but makes you uncomfortable with the only one taken audio input of your laptop? Perhaps you could phrase that in a different way.

  • Reference Dell place 8 7840 headphone / Audio Jack problem

    My place 7840 arrived last week and I really like this thing. Today, I finally plugged headphones into the phone 1/8 "plug and immediately heard a rehearsal 'click' sound, strong enough and not affected by volume or muting. Quickly, I rebooted the Tablet, then tried again in Airplane Mode. The same problem. Checked my sound settings. Everything was normal (Bluetooth audio works fine). Tried another set of headphones - same problem.

    Everyone fell on this? My helmet is defective?

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE! I found the problem. Problem solved.

    I use the Dell Folio, which came in the form of a Pack, and he made sure the headphones were enough to play sounds and 'feel' as it has been connected - connection but it wasn't quite the case. Making felt a little loose, so I gave the helmet a good shot and he well engaged. No more rattling! I am back to enjoy my place of 8.

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Audio Jack problems

    Hello

    I just bought my new laptop (Quad HP Envy 17 t-j100 edition) and I have a few questions for my audio port.

    I have only 1 taken from headphone-out/microphone-in the drop-down list. Is it possible to record stereo signals using this port? When I go to the recording devices tab is displayed: "Table of internal Microphone", "Helmet Mic" and "Stereo Mix". What is the 'Stereo Mix'? How can I use it?

    Please help me.

    Hey Norbi93,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you have questions about the audio ports on your laptop and the stereo mix option in your audio properties.

    Stereo Mix supports computer reading record. For example, using a program like Audactiy you can record audio from a YouTube video. The selection of properties simply displays the unit is on and available. In addition to customizing options of quality, there is no much to do in this area.

    If you want to know how to record sounds, you need a sound recording software. I can't tell you what software is best for you, then I would say using Google looking for a sound recording software that will work for what you are trying to do. Once you have found and installed, this program support team would be better equipped to answer questions on how to actually record the sound.

    I hope that answers your questions!

  • How to set up a USB Microphone and a headphone audio jack at the same time on Windows 7?

    I recently bought a CAD u37 USB microphone for use in various records and a commentator game on Youtube when I came across a problem. When I plugged the microphone all other sounds immediately extinguished and I couldn't hear the game. I tried to unplug and re - plug in the headphones and the microphone, even play with no helmet without result.

    I did some research and found out it's because the microphone is automatically configured for audio input and output and the card sound/headset, not having a configuration. I've recently considered buying a $5 female jack audio converter USB to work around this problem.
    Will this work, or just be a waste of money? Are there simpler solutions like a flick of a switch of audio control panel configuration? Are there any programs that will allow me to configure the audio and input output? Is it still possible? Thank you!

    Hi Ben,

    I suggest you try to connect USB female to the converter audio jack, this should help to solve the problem with simultaneous USB microphone and audio input jack using headphones.

    If you have any more questions, respond to this post with the State of the question. I'll be happy to help you.

  • HP Pavilion e049wm 17: 17-e049wm (HP pavilion 17) can I replace the audio jack on the motherboard?

    Hello

    Nearly two years ago, I bought the laptop and the audio jack stopped working. I opened the laptop and saw that indeed broken taking!

    I wonder where I can get a new, so maybe I can solder on the motherboard?

    There is no place to buy this decision in a separate part. The only possibility is to find a motherboard nonworking parts on ebay and to transplant the good audio jack on your motherboard, and I don't want to minimize welding skills that will. You'd be very likely to damage the motherboard still more. Your best bet now if you want to use the laptop with a gaming headset is to get a cheap usb sound card and plug it in when you want to listen in private. I guess that the speakers of the laptop still work OK?

    Like this:

    You could buy half a dozen of them, then you might lose a bit and still be OK.

  • Front Headphone Jack does not

    I have a Pavilion Media Center a1440n.  I recently updated my OS to Windows 7 and updated the appropriate drivers.

    Everything works OK, except the front headphone jack.  Realtek HD audio recognizes the shoultd headphones connect to the Jack of the façade, but he does not see that the earphones are connected and there is no sound in the headphones.

    Is it an OS problem, or is there a setting I need to change?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried what you suggested with no luck.

    I also had other problems, so I bit the bullet and bought a new computer.

  • Try to restore the output audio multiples

    Hello, just joined the community of Windows 7.  Installed the RC.  Having some sound issues.  I was already a Windows XP user and the sound automatically went out to several devices, such as speakers and headphones.  I now find in windows 7, its fate only to the device "by default".  How can I change this so audio output goes to several devices again.

    In addition, just in case this is related.  My system has the front and back of the microphone inputs.  I had always used the front microphone jack.  Right now, my system is only says he uses the rear Mic Jack.  I tried to in the spirit of taking precedence no chance.  No big deal, except that it's really bugging me that I can't do this.  Check the Bios and have played around with the system devices.

    Note that my current config has the output of the speaker to the rear, headset and microphone from the front.

    You can expect that the speakers, microphone and headphones work 'PlugNPlay' that you insert the plug. Mixer devices appear as the sounds occur. The first problem can be linked to the second and separate speaker/headphone may be a problem with your audio driver, but I expect to find a settting in the tab "speakers' Panel of------Sound control to determine single or double performance for audio output. The microphone records don't step forward is unlikely to be a problem with audio driver. If its edge, the chipset drivers will do. I would like to download the latest driver chipset on the desktop, and right click to "troubleshoot compatibility" and try the Vista Mode. Approach of Oct 22 GA version, I think you can see new drivers showing, probably on Windows Update.

  • Tecra A4 Audio Jack sizes

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Tecra A4. My plug stereo audio 3.5 mm (that I used with my laptop computer players and previous music) can not get into the audio jack of the Tecra. There seems to be a sort of "obstruction" in decision-making.

    I've had the laptop returned during the initial period of 14 days. However, the laptop next sent me has had the same problem.

    Could someone please advise me on what's going on?

    See you soon
    Khim.

    Hello Khim

    I'm really confused with the description of your problem. AFAIK all laptops have the same dimension of audio input jack (the same standard audio port). I put t know what laptop, you had before, but there is no difference. Important is that audio is well inserted in the port audio (jack whole). Right now, it will work correctly.

    I tried my helmet in many other portable (various manufacturers) in my office and it works perfectly.

    Good bye

  • No sound from front headphone jack

    Just installed Creative blaster x - fi titanium sound card in my desktop HP P7 1234.  Everything works fine except no sound from the front headphone jack.  The jacdk worked until I installed the card.  I need the decision-making to use as another line for around the music of the pool.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Jay

    If you install a card its additrional you can only use this smart - card ports on Board will be disabled.
    You need to check if you can connect the ports of the façade to the new card - otherwise you will get a card where it would work.

    Or simply use an audio splitter (Y-cable) to connect a second audio device to the new card.

  • rear audio Jack does not not HELP!

    Hey im currently on windows vista, my front audio jack is broken on my compaq presario CQ3040AN because my friend is triggered on a Jack already plugged into it. I think that part of the Jack may have violated in there, causing the computer always recognize something hip and I am trying to use the back entrance, but it does not work.

    is he still taking on reading taking back and if so is there a way to disable the front to operate the back?

    Help!

    Timm

    Hello

     
    If you are comfortable to open the CPU Tower and disconnect the wiring for the front cable which goes from this Jack to the Audio card, you can go ahead and perform the same. You can also contact the manufacturer of the computer for support.
     
    I hope this helps!

    If you try to capture audio only, then it is recommended to use the line-in port instead of the composite in ports at the front. Here is the document which clearly explains the procedure to capture audio from audio cassettes:
