Intel HD Audio Jack Detection

I have recently got a new computer case with Intel HD Audio so I can plug my headphones in, and not have the sound playing in the back, but I'm having a issue with ALSA cancelling the back audio, not sure if there is a easy fix or not...
Motherboard model is a GIGABYTE EP45T-UD3LR... Intel P45 chipset. Audio Card is a Realtek ALC888 Chipset
All the fixes I have looked at have seemed like to me like they are specific to a laptop, not a general fix.
It's not really that big of a issue if it doesn't work, but it would be nice if I can get it to work.
Any suggestions?

I have to agree but I doubt most people notice. Not a lot a audiophiles anymore. Intel HD specs are typical of a low costs digital to analog converter. You won't find many laptops that spend a lot on sound quality. Although their are a couple PC's that have certified sound with better sound cards. I would think your Macbook like mine has a optical digital connection through the audio jack. If you really want better D/A conversion you could buy a external D/A converter and connect through the optical output. Personally I use a pair of SkullCandy Hesh 2's and find the sound very good. I certainly have heard worse. At least S/N ratio is pretty good. Some laptops I have had in the past really had some nasty background hiss.

Pulse Audio jack detection problem.

Hi, In my work I use headphones for listening musing and if I shutdown the laptop and then remove the headphones and when I start it in home there is no sound. I found the solution: plug headphones and unplug them. For me Pulse audio does not make check on system start if there are headphones connected but uses last value, and only changes it on plug and unplug.
Is there are script that I can add to systemd on startup to check jack for headphones?
Thanks.

Hello,
since one recent update in January 2014 I notice the same Problem as Indomitable reported.
I am using Archlinux on my Lenovo X201 (KDE and Pulseaudio installed). After reboot I hear no sound from the internal speakers. As Indomitable sayed, plugging and unplugging some headphones fixes the problem until next reboot. (First I was afraid of a damaged jack causing a false detection - so I am now eased up that somebody else reports this behaviour, too.)
As a quick workaround in KDE (when you have no Sound through internal speakers and no Headphones laying around) you can go to [Audio & Video settings > Audio Hardware Setup > Device Configuration] and choose the Connector: "Speakers" instead of "Analog Output".
Of course this is no permanent solution since this bypasses the automatic jack detection.
Is this strange behaviour a bug or just a misconfiguration?

Front audio not detected

Hi, I have a msi p35 neo 2 for quite some time now but didn't had the opportunity to use the front panel from my chieftec chase.Today I've tried the front panel but for my surprise alc888 didn't detected nor my headphone or the mic.If I disable front audio jack detection the mic and the headphones work but it doesn't switch off the back audio when I insert the headphones.
How could I solve this issue?
BTW I'm on windows 7rc x64 bit.

Not sure if the drivers are any compatible to Win 7 RC yet.

I also have an old Creative 4.1 speaker system (been around for about 10 years from system to system)
It worked flawlessly....until.....this morning my daughter was watching NetFlix and she plugged in the headphones. The sound muted the rears (as it is supposed to do) and sound came through the headphones (front jack) as it was supposed to do. She said some popup appeared to which she didn't read and just hit OK (doh!). Now I am unable to get any sound out of the rear speakers when unplugging the headphones. After much playing around, if I un-check "disable front panel jack detection" in the MSI Audio Manager then the sound once again works from the rear, however (as can be expected) it doesn't mute it when the headphone jack is re-plugged in. Strange, thing is that this worked before this morning. It's like it is always detecting the headphones and therefore mutes the rears.

Additional information.
I also have to set: "Separate all input jacks as independent input devices" in the MSI Audio Manager (Device advanced settings) in order to get my microphone to work too.
What the heck happended? What's wrong?
MSI, got any ideas?

MSI 945GT Speedster A4R Audio Output Jack Detection Problem

Motherboard: 945GT Speedster A4R (609-9632-01S)
CPU: T2400 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo
RAM: 2x 1GB Nanya PC5300 DDR2 667MHz
Hello,
I've been trying to get two new computers running using these Mobile Core 2 Duo motherboards. I have had 2 of 3 motherboards exhibit the same problem with detecting audio jack activity - when no activity is actually happening.
In the first failure, the board never worked at all. It never detected that a jack was plugged in. In this second one, it worked right for about 2 hours, then flashed some messages saying "Audio Jack has been unplugged", and then it has never worked since.
The Realtek Audio configuration tool now indicates no jack is plugged in when I insert a speaker plug into the light green colored jack. Conversely, the one board of the three that is working correctly highlights this jack in the software app when it detects the plug.
I hate to keep sending these boards back to the seller, but it looks like I have to send another one back. Are these boards prone to having audio jack problems? Is there an easy fix for this? Is it just a connector problem?
Thanks,
James

To reproduce the problem, I just have to leave the machine on for an hour or so. After the driver is installed, a Realtek Audio applet is constantly running, shown in the bottom right corner of the task bar. This applet automatically pops up a windows when it detects any jack activity.
Unfortunately, it just pops up (rapidly, about five times in a row) detecting random jack unplugging and plugging in, when I'm not even touching the machine and not running anything (Windows idle). As soon as I acknowledge the event by clicking 'OK', it pops up another window, and another, until it has finally decided that a jack is not present. Then the sound no longer functions because it thinks no plug is inserted into the analog output jack.
Thanks,
James

Audio jack won't detect any earphone after soaking wet on saltwater/sea

Hi!
I'm a Sony Xperia Z2 user from the Philippines. Just last week,I spent my time on a paradise. Doing island hopping for 3 straight days and that means,my Z2 is continously soaking wet in salt water for 3 days,capturing pictures and videos of corals and other life underwater. I was not having any problem at all! Amazing device I have!
And then the 4th day came. All was well,phone's working normally. But upon looking the audio jack,the walls inside it is covered by 'GREEN' particles. I was told to follow-up running tap water on it,so I did. Nothing happened. Again running lukewarm water on it then cleaned it with cottonbuds.But still,nothing. There's a part of the jack unreachable by cottonbuds,thus,leaving little green particles on it.
I was told by a friend that there's an xperia forum discussing the same fate as mine and got theirs back to normal again. I'm not sure if this is the same forum he was talking about. But anyhow,I want to hear from you if you had heard already the same problem as mine and know the solution to it. I'd be in luck if somebody can link me a thread similar to this.
Thank you in advance for responding.

I'm sorry to hear this, contact your local Xperia Care and request a vacuum test

P965 Neo-F audio jacks not working.

I've been having serious issues with the audio jacks on the P965 Neo-F board. I have actually tried two boards, convinced the first board was defective since my speakers worked fine on other computers. On both the current board and the last board, I did a complete clean XP install, formatting my hard drives and installing the latest RealTek HD drivers (5.10.0.5404 dated 4/23/2007, from MSI). The first board never so much as peeped, while the board I have now has made some sounds, although I honestly don't know why. On this board, I had a set of Altic Lansing 2.1 speakers, but because the speakers would pop and make static noises every now and again, generally only if I bumped one of the small stereo speakers or wiggled the cords on the back of it, I thought perhaps the problem was the speakers being old.
On the current board, I tested a monitor that has speakers in it, and there was no sound. RealTek's sound manager, which I have installed, did not recognize that there was anything plugged into the jacks even though I had a line in, microphone, and line out plugged in. When it did recognize the lino out, it also recognized the microphone. However, it only recognized them for no more than a minute. The new speakers (also Altec Lansing 2.1) made one squeak for less than a second; other than that, there has been no sound at all.
I've tried several different RealTek HD drivers from MSI, Microsoft, and RealTek, but none have made any difference. I've enabled and disabled only to re-enable the audio device through BIOS with no success. I've checked the volume, DxDiag, and played music--Winamp and iTunes are both making sound, but no sound is coming out.
I'm pretty much out of ideas here. The only thing I can think to do is get a sound card, but I don't see why I should have to do that when I'm not an audiophile and the board jacks should suit me fine. I am quite at my wit's end with this, and would appreciate any help I can get.

It recognizes that I pluged something into the microphone jack but can't get the microne to work.
This problem usually has to do with the fact that the computer case used, or to be more precise: its front panel audio connectors are not fully Intel HD Audio compliant. Disable the Automatic Front Panel Jack Detection Function in the Realtek HD Audio Manager and retry.
If your mic still does not work as it should, browse through the Realtek Program Folder and look for an executeable file named "miccal.exe". Run it to calibrate your microphone. Also, enable "Microphone boost" in the Mixer-tab of the Realtek configuration program. The top half part of the mixer Tab ("Playback") can be scrolled to the left via <> buttons. Scroll left and localize the input jack your mic is plugged into (example: "Rear Pink In"). Click on the Options button and enable microphone boost.
Quote
When I go into the mixer settings I can't adjust adjust any of the inputs - cd, mic, line etc. Although it shows places for a sliding volume adjusters but doesn't show a slider to be able to adjust the volumes of the inputs.
That is totally normal and not a problem. It is basically a limitation of the Realtek HD Audio Driver in combination with Windows XP. It has nothing to do with the board. Here is an Asus-example:
There is nothing wrong here. If you scroll through that output devices/jacks in the Mixer tab of the Realtek HD Audio Manager, you will find that you can adjust the input/output volume for each audio jack individually. Doesn't make sense to adjust input volume in the output section? Well, ask Realtek which genius designed the interface and ask him personally.

Boot Camp Windows 7 do not recognise wifi, ethernet, USB ports and has a scary red light in audio jack output!

Hi!
I have just tried to install Windows 7 x86 version on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a couple of strange things start appearing:
    1. On the Boot Camp Assistant first screen, I tried to download the drivers and after about 15min the system responding that the server did not responded.
    2. I went further and installed the Win7 without making the ISO as requested by the assistant and with no driver burned on a CD
    3. After installed the Win7 I noticed that it did not recognise the WIFI in my home nor any other in the area;
    4. There is a freaking RED LIGHT coming from my Audio jack output that I have never seen in my life... and that scares me!
    5. The USB ports does not works on Win7 side !
    6. The ethernet does not work, Win7 just don´t recognise it...
    7. There is no Boot Camp on Win7 side to be deployed...
Basically I will use Windows to run Quicken for Windows, but I can´t acces my backups on Dropbox because I do not have intercet access, and obviously I am not going to be able to back up new files.
Is there someone able to help me?
I have:Boot Camp 5.0.0 / Win7 Ultimate x86 / MacBook 2,5Ghz Intel Core i5 MID-2012 / Memories 4GB amd 500GB/ OS X 10.8.1 / Boot Camp partition with 50Gb for Windows.
I appreciate all help!

Did you make sure to install the Bootcamp utilities after installing Windows? They can be found in the boot disk/usb flash that Bootcamp creates (check for a folder called "Windows Support").These should enable sound/video/trackpad/etc.to work with full functionaliity under Windows (you may need to reboot after doing so). After installing them, you may also want to run Windows Update to make sure you get the latest drivers.
As far as the red light, many models of Macbook Pros are equipped with a digital Audio out. You can either use the standard analog 3.5mm Stereo jack (standard headphone connector), a 3.5mm miniSPDIF digital coax or miniTOSLINK digital optical cable (hence the red light). Windows may not know how to handle to audio out port until the proper drivers are installed and it may be enabling the digital signal by default. Installing the drivers mentioned above should set this back to normal operation.
hope this helps.

HP m7160n front audio jack problem

I am running Vista Home on my m7160n Media Center PC. I used to be able to plug in my headphones to the front audio jack and it would cut out the rear speaker output. Now it doesn't! I have gone into sound properties and is IS set to turn off rear jack, when the system detects a plug in the front jack. The headphones still work, but i need the speakers off when using the headphones. I hope thats enough information.

Hi MrBassMan26,
That is odd and sounds like the jack-detect isn't working right. Did this issue just start happening? Did it occur after installing anything, even a Windows Update?
If it just started happening, you could try running a Windows System Restore to an earlier point when it worked properly. Or you could trying re-installing the sound driver or even installing an updated sound driver. That should take care of it, and if it doesn't you may need to make some configuration changes in one of the Sound properties (Windows or Realtek).
I see that you have Vista, did you by chance upgrade to Vista from XP?
Try installing the Vista sound driver from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&Down...
