BC 3.0 Realtek driver thinks headphone jack is line in (iMac)

The computer in question is an iMac from the previous generation (Radeon 2400).
I noticed some other people having problems with external speakers, and I think I've pretty much figured out that the Realtek driver thinks the headphone jack on this computer is an input.
Anyone have a solution besides rolling back?

Yes, I had the same problem.
Then I installed the Realtek from Boot Camp 2.1 in compatibility mode under Windows XP.
Then he returned to work well!

  • Connect 5G to stereo - headphone jack vs. line out

    Is it better to connect my iPod to my home stereo using the 3.5mm headphone jack or buying the Apple Dock and using the 3.5mm "line out" (assuming either would go into the "AUX" RCA inputs on my stereo)?
    I have read that the "line out" from the Dock isn't a true line out since the click wheel still controls the volume.
    Using the headphone jack, as I am now, I have to have the iPod volume up all the way and my stereo up quite high to get adequate volume. Would this still be the case using the Dock?

    You get loads better sound with the dock althought you can control it with the clickwheel. Using the headphone jack limits your sound to a small amount while having a line out and connecting it to speakers lets you able to turn your music up as loud as you want. Also has better sound.

  • IMac headphone jack nonfunctional in XP (Boot Camp)

    I recently installed Windows XP Home SP3 on my late 2008 iMac 20". I installed the Boot Camp drivers from a recent retail Leopard DVD, Boot Camp is version 2.1. Today I discovered that the headphone jack doesn't work. I plug in headphones, and sound continues to be played through the system speakers. These same headphones in this same jack DO work as expected in Mac OS X.
    I have noticed in the Realtek HD Audio Manager, when I plug the headphones into the headphone jack, the "Line In (Realtek HD Audio Input)" icon lights up instead of the headphones icon (looking at the Audio I/O tab). If the driver was confusing the line-in jack with the headphone jack, as this observation indicates, it would explain why no sound is getting to the headphones.
    The only relevant KB article I could find was this one relating to the MacBook Pro: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3588 , however it seems to be addressing Windows Vista (it doesn't specify), and in any case I don't have an MBP. I cannot find any place in XP or Realtek's software to choose between internal speakers and headphones or to disable either.
    I am going to try installing the latest drivers from Realtek's website, but I am curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

    I can confirm that the latest Realtek drivers do not fix the problem. I unstalled the Realtek driver and software via Add/Remove Programs, rebooted, and installed the newest version. It still recognizes the headphone jack as the line-in jack, and ignores the line-in jack altogether.
    The Boot Camp driver version was 5.10.0.5713, the driver I downloaded today from Realtek is 5.10.0.5874. I found the drivers here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=24&Level=4& Conn=3&DownTypeID=3

  • Imac headphone jack stopped working!?

    i have a 2.4GHz intel imac that is only about 6 months old and i had a headphone extender plugged into the headphone jack outlet on the back that i never touched. i unplugged it yesterday and re-plugged it in today and now the sound is not going through the headphone jack at all. i've tried using different sets of headphones without the extender, i've unplugged and plugged all cords, re-booted, etc. to no avail. i'm really frustrated as this computer is basically brand new! and i'm guessing to replace the jack is going to be a big job. has anyone else experienced this or know of a way to fix? i haven't run any disc utility programs...

    I just bought a brand new 24" iMac and the jack worked out of the box for about 1 week. Then yesterday it stopped working. I did some research in these discussion threads and found one about using a secondary cable between the external speakers and the imac. So, I plugged in my Monster cable splitter for sharing your headphone jack with a friend. The connection was more secure than when the speakers alone were plugged directly in. The Monster cable had not static or wiggle. Everything seems to be working again. So it appears to be a defect in the headphone jack tolerance in the iMac. I've tested the external speakers in 2 different ipods and it works fine with both of them.
    It ***** to have your new computer not work well out of the box, so if you truly want a mint machine, contact Applecare and see about replacement. Or you can try this easy fix. We'll see how long it holds up!
    Good Luck!

  • Use the headphone jack output and bluetooth at the same time

    I am going to buy a blue-tooth headset for my 3GS.
    Am I able to use the blue tooth mic and the headphone plug on the 3GS in the phone conversation?
    Message was edited by: Winson Ip

    Now I listen the music with the Ipod through headphone amplifier for better sound quality. The amplifier is plug into the dock port. I have to buy a bluetooth headset come with the 3.5mm jack. I want the sound output still from the headphone jack or line-out. The bluetooth headset work like a cordless mic. Also, the headphone amplifier still getting work.

  • Record sound coming from a headphone jack

    I have stereo whose only output option is a headphone jack.
    I've tried connecting to an aux input for the speakers connected to my iMac and directly into the line in port but am having trouble finding software to capture the recordings.
    Audacity, Apowersoft Audio Recorder, Adobe Audition will not recognize the input.
    QuickTime, GarageBand and Audio Hijack all recognize the input, but only records and plays back out of one channel (and yes, the balance is set to the middle). But when I'm using the aux input from the speakers, both channels play.
    What type of device do I need to connect between the stereo's headphone jack the line in port?

    We need to know which iMac variant (there are over a hundred) and what version of the Mac OS you are running. Those affect how you get to a result.

  • IMac Headphone Jack broke - Can I switch?

    The headphone jack on my old iMac Intel 2006 is broke. The red light is always on as well.
    I've tried everything and read up on all discusstions on the board. But nothing gives.
    Is there a way to use the audio-in as the audio-out? Somehow switch the usage of the 2 jacks? The in jack is fine.
    Thanks for the help!

    Have you replaced your PRAM battery?  Sometimes that's all that is needed.

  • 27" imac 2013 broken headphone jack

    Hello, has anyone experienced their headphone jack on the 27" imac 2013 becoming unusable?
    I plugged in my headset and the plug wouldn't seat any longer.
    The internal speakers work but that's it.
    I managed to get it working for a bit but then couldn't find tha sweet spot it's not working again.
    It is noted that this is the headphone/optical audio port so there's no other optical port on this unit.
    Bluetooth isn't picking up my bluetooth headset either.
    ej

    The headphone port actually is an optical out unit.  As a result, if you accidently hit a small inside trigger to switch between optical and non-optical mode, you can in fact create problems if that switch gets stuck.  The Audio Midi Setup application in Applications -> Utilities may fix the issue with switching to 44 Hertz on output. 
    Sometimes resetting the PRAM can help as well:

    If it doesn't, you may need to bring the machine into service.

  • My iPod touch (3rd generation) has been going to voice control constantly and on top of that, I think my headphone jack is destroyed...what can I do?

    My iPod is a 3rd generation used iPod I bought at Gamestop this past January. At first, it was working great, but roughly around August and September did it start it's annoying "voice control" thing along with it messing with the headphone jack. I think I destroyed the jack, and maybe have broken something inside after toying with it repeatedly to get it to work, but all my iPod is good for now is a paper weight and for the apps. I can't listen to a song with out it going to voice control, or the headphone jack fizzing in and out. I've gone through maybe three pairs of headphones trying to get it to work properly and headphones aren't the cheapest things ever. My ipod is up to date, I've had to reset it constantly, week after week it seems like, but nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm getting so infuriated, that I might just break down to purchase a new one, or to give up on it completely and revert back to the iPod nanos. At least those didn't give me any issues when I used it.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the followingwill replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    It is very likely the jack is causing the VC problem since VC uses the jack for input.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Problems with Headphone jack, Speakers, USB Port, MagSafe 2 and the hard drive

    I took my MacBook Pro Retina 2.6GHz i7 to the genius bar to have the headphone jack looked at. I was told they could easily fix it but had to order the part. That day I took it home and returned to the store once I was notified that the part arrived so I could drop it off for repair. 3 days after I dropped my computer off with the genius bar I missed a phone call and returned to my iphone with a new voicemail. It said something like this, "Hello Tim, I just wanted to let you know that we replaced the headphone jack but it turned out not to be the problem and the problem was actually with the logic board. Don't worry though, we went ahead and replaced that for you, however, after that was done, the speakers stopped working but the headphone jack is fixed. We have to order new speakers to put in your computer b/c we don't have those on hand either."
    Long story short, they fixed the speakers but, "had to order another part to repair the USB port." So I am waiting for that to be repaired but the dang AC Power to the actual computer does not work now!!! It's not the magsafe 2 charger that I have or the outlets I tried it in b/c I tried multiple chargers and multiple outlets. I am very frustrated! I have been without my computer for almost 2 weeks and still have to take it in at least twice more to get the power working this weekend and then again next week to (hopefully) get the USB port working.
    At what point should I ask for a new computer or a refund? I have been using Apple Computers my whole life, I have had 8 different mac laptop models and have not had a problem until this computer. I am very frustrated with the support I have received from Apple as a whole.

    Contact Apple Customer Relations and let them know that you're not happy. With the logic board replacement, everything else should have been evaluated and fixed at the same time. It sounds as if you just got a lemon. You could plead your case for a replacement unit, I would think, since your machine is being 'replaced' piecemeal...
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Headphone jack on the X-Fi I/O drive makes everything go mute.

    >Headphone jack on the X-Fi I/O dri've makes everything go mute.eBefore we begin...
    Yes, my dri've is hooked up correctly.
    Yes, the volume knob on the headphones are turned up.
    Yes, I do have the latest drivers and software.
    Running Windows 7 Home (64bit) and updated. ?All hardware is running latest drivers, software, and BIOS.
    Now that that's out of the way, the headphone jack on the I/O dri've is causing problems. ?Audio comes out normally from the speakers. ?If I plug my the mic in to the mic jack on the I/O dri've, everything is fine. ?I can hear myself just fine through the normal speakers. ?Now if I connect to the headphone jack, everything goes mute. ?No sound from the headphones or speakers and the mic doesn't work. ?If I unplug the headphones, everything remains muted. ?Even after running diagnostics and restoring defaults, everything remains muted.
    The funny thing is I can still plug into my case's headphone jack and music will play from it. ?Go figure.
    The only solution thus far is a reboot. ?Unacceptable.
    What's the problem and I how do I fix it's

    B&Just realized that the Beta driver introduced a new problem. ?Although the inputs are now working, the sound is terrible. ?The volume keeps fluctuating rapidly (not the level that I can control). ?If you leave the volume at a set level, you can notice that it is behaving erradically.
