Headphone and mic jacks do not work

I disabled the onboard audio drivers to install an Audigy 2ZS board in my new Dimension 900. Now the Dell factory installed mic and headphone jacks on the front of the computer do not work. I'm assuming thats because I disabled the onboard drivers? Any way to get them working with the 2ZS card? I understand that the mic and headphone jacks have cables that can be hooked to a card. Does the 2ZS support this kind of hookup?
Thanks

Hey everyone
It's very possible to connect your front jacks to Audigy. I'm currently using my headphones that way.
Here is what you do:
. On top you audigy card

2. Audigy pin assignments (connect you front panel cable to things marked in red)
AUDIGY FRONT PANEL CONNECTIONS======================================= =========================
- Analog Ground< 2 - Headphone Out (Left) 3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- mute (ground) the backpanel when using headphones< 4 - Headphone Out (Right) 5 - same as #3< 6 - Mic Input 7 - key pin (shouldn't be there) 8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic 9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in0 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not used)
I'm still working out the kinks. For instance, if you've ever had an Audigy Dri've (comes with Platinum and Pro version of Audigy), you know that when you plug in headphones, sound to speakers mutes and Creative Speaker Settings panel automatically switches to "Headphones". That was nice. I don't know if it's possible this way.
Enjoy,
Igor

    Hi @mcmanus90
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I saw your post regarding the problem using the iPhone earphones. Try setting them as the default recording device. This third-party link will show you how to do it. Now it is for Windows 7 but if you search for Control Panel from your tile page and go to Sound it will be the same from there.

  • Y410p Front headphone and microphone jacks not working after repair

    I recently (last month) sent  my IdeaPad Y410p in to Lenovo for repairs due to the laptop not turning on, or repeatedly restarting at the BIOS screen. The laptop was repaired by Lenovo (they replaced the motherboard), and returned it to me. The laptop has worked great sincce then, except that the two USB ports on the right side and the headphone and microphone jacks do not work. I have reinstalled the audio drivers, twice, but have not reinstalled the chipset drivers at all, as I don't want to screw around with those untiol I no more about what I should do. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Talonek, welcome to the forums,
    the problem you are experiencing is probably due to the cable connecting the ports on the right side, front of system, to the mainboard unfortunately not being connected or connected properly.  Please see pdf page 52 of the system's Hardware Maintenance Manual.
    I've never taken an Y410p apart, but having looked at the manual the cable connection may well be accessible to check / fix by removing the hard drive.  Another alternative would be to call service and ask them to do this for you.

  • Upper headset jack does not work

    My h8-1039 desktop (W7 Home Premium) has a headphone and microphone jack on the top and back of the PC.  On the top set of jacks, the headphones stopped workng but the microphone still does, so I have to use the headset to speak but isten through the speakers.  The rear set could be used, but very inconvenient as you can imagine.  Is there a way to determine why the upper headset jack doesn't work?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    The headphone and mic jacks located on the valet tray are wired to the mainboard.
    I would guess either the headphone jack wire has dislodged at either connection point, or the headphone jack has failed, or the motherboard connection has failed.
    Have you tested the headset to verify it is operational?
    Have you checked Realtek Audio to eliminate software settings as the cause?

  • Mic on headphones for iPhone 4 will not work. What could possibly be wrong?

    Mic for headphones (iphone4) will not work. When I use voice control, the lines are up and down (almost like there is some type of noise) even though I am not speaking into it. Speakers are working, whether it's from music or using the phone. I've tried turning the phone on/off and it still does not work. Not sure what else to do. I just recently bought these headphones approx 4-5 months ago.

    There are three types of 3.5 mm headphone jacks - TS, TRS, and TRRS. Tip, Ring, Sleeve.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS_connector
    Currently the two parts closest to the cord (2nd Ring and Sleeve) are used for the microphone. Some vendors use the sleeve for the mic, and some use the ring.
    Could be the problem.

    My Magic Jack is not working properly. I can make a call and the person I have called can hear me but I can't hear them. What can I do to fix this?

    if it play not sound at all then it's likely the hardware issue where the headset detector gets stuck
    like this the detector just is stuck in the opposite way

  • Can't get Headphone and Mic to work with Skype

    Hello, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro and I am running OS 10.8.3. I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result. I finally phoned Skype support and they told me that there are some registry settings that are corrupted and that they could install the proper ones on my MBP for $149.99. I told them I did not want to spend that kind of money but I am curious if anybody else is having that issue and if anybody has a solution. Is it true that my registry values could be corrupted causing this issue. If I start up Parallels and open Skype in Windows 7 I have no issues whatsoever using the headphone. It works every time but I cannot get it to work on the Mac platform. I would appreciate any advice anybody might have. Many thanks in advance.

    What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics?  It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system. 

  • My ipad2 headphone jack does not work

    Has anyone had a problem with iPad 2 headphone jack? The jack does not work at all and the sound still comes out of the built in speaker. And yes, it is fully pushed in.

    If you are convinced that there is nothing wrong with the headphones (you could try another set of headphones, ear buds whatever) and that you are pushing the headphones in firmly enough - check to make sure that nothing is impeding the connection between the jack and the opening on the iPad - dirt, debris ....
    You could also reset the iPad. Hold down on the sleep button and home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.

  • My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it.  How do I get to listen on headphones again on my IPod touch?

    My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it.  How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?

    You likely have a problem with the headphone jack.  You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
    - Get the jack fixed.  Here is one place:
    DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
    However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
    Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
    The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

  • Connect Headphone and mic

    In order to use Google phone, I want to purchase a combination mic. and headphone to connect to my mac mini, but I can't figure out how to connect to the mini. Will it connect into a usb connection or is there jack receptical to include the mic. Thank you.

    RJ and Omug:  Thank you for your helpful response. 
         However, I have found on line a USB adapter that will accept the mic and headphone combination with two individual jacks.  Will the a headphone and mic with two individual 3.5 mm jacks work on my mac mini by using the USB adapter with a powered USB hub?  There seems to be more selection at a lower price with the two individual jacks and the adapter rather than the usb connected headphone/mic.
