Works when he's playing music so we can assume his soundcard is working.. Plugged it right ? no setting turned off ?
Is the cable from the front panel 3.5 jack to the motherboard connected ok .... ..maybe worth checking
are you plugging them into your tower directly or the speakers (some speakers have a spot to do that) and are you plugging them into the front or the back? and u sure its not in the mic slot and not the headphones one? take a picture and post it?
I would suggest this also as it looks like Microsoft Generic HD drivers The name of his sound card is that from generic microsoft drivers, it should say "Realtek HD audio" or "VIA HD audio" etc if manufactures drivers were installed
I plugged in Headphone in the front tower directly - the front panel 3.5 jack - One to Mic and another to Headphone. It does not Work either in the front panel or Back.
i suggest using realtek windows 7 driver. u can find it on download . com . also just to satisfy my curiosity did you try opening the tower and checking to see if the wires are still connected to jack on the inside? i will help as much as i can
I double check the wires. It connected to Motherboard. I tried to connect Headphone in the back jack of motherboard. It still does not work. I wonder why the speaker works well when I play CD.... but does not work for Headphone. Thanks for your suggestion and help
Realtek High Definition Audio Codec (Windows Vista / Windows 7) R2.37 (11/20/2009) from download .com that is what you need. install restart computer. then let me know
zizi you have to install your original audio drivers, provided with your motherboard's disk or downloaded from the official site of your mobo manufacturer. @thedonofdeath Excuse me but, how you figured out that his sound is Realtek HD? Greets!
i didn't but i have used it on every widowns 7 that audio didn't work on and it seems to fix the problem. its kind of a cure all solution. since he already has audio in his speakers it shouldnt change anything but i think it will fix his problem
