[Solved] Front Headphones jack auto detect plugin

Is autodetection supposed to work when I plug in the headphones? I moved from an Asus Xonar PCI card to the internal card (HDA Intel PCH, ALC892) but headphones are not working. On the Asus I could switch between headphones out and line out using the audio mixer panel but that option is not available. aplay -L doesn't list a headphones output.
I'm running Arch 64-bit with XFCE, no Pulse audio installed (just ALSA). Sound is working fine over the speakers.
lspci lists:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
Alsamixer or the XFCE audio control panel does list headphones volume control. It's not muted or anything.
If headphones out should work (hopefully with plugin detection), how can I get it to work?
Thanks!

Well, that was easy . The front panel wasn't connected to the motherboard
Sorry ...

  • TX2000 no sound from front headphone jacks

    Hi everyone, Ive started this because I have a major problem with my pavilion tx2000. it is not outputting any sound from the front headphone jacks, it was working okay on windows 7 64 bit but one good day without any aparent reason it stopped working I mean, I used to plug my headphones and immediatly the laptop speakers shout and I coud hear music from any of the two front headphone jacks but one day I did it and the speaker didnt shout and I couldnt hear anything from the headphones, assuming that the headphones were the problem I plugged another headphones that I knew were working fine with the same result.
    I was using windows 7 default drivers then I updated the drivers from the official realtek site (I thnk version R267) with no effect, then I installed linux and plugged the headphones, to my surprise audio were outputting from both, the laptop speakers and the headphones, after some configurations I managed linux to output audio only from the headphones but I have to change it manually if I wanted the laptop speakers to work, I then reinstalled windows 7 64 with the updated driivers from realtek, to my surprise realtek audio manager will pop up a message saying "you just plugged and audio device" BUT ONLY IF I PLUG SOMETHING TO THE MICROPHONE JACK!!!!! otherwise it won´t say anything even if I plug my headphones to any of the both headphone jacks, my assumption is that somehow the headphone jacks lost its sensibility and are not detectng the headphones and as so they wont route the audio signal through them, also Ive read on forums that I could change something in the realtek audio manager as "disable front audio jacks" or something but i can´t see that option anywhere in any of the various versions of drivers I´ve tried on the various OSes Ive tried, Also in some point I did notice a red ligth coming out from the first headphone jack, I assumed it was spidf signal or something.
    What im thiking is that this is hardware related, that somehow the jacks lost sensibility and cant detect my headphones, the question here is this: I dont mind routing the audio from the laptop speaker to the headphone jacks manually (I mean with some script or something), but is there any way to do so In windows, In linux I could but in windows I just cant seem too get it to work without windows detecting my headphones automatically, or do I have to change the whole front panel in my laptop, it is offcourse out of warranty and I don´t want to keep spending money on this as this is quite an old machine wich Ive invested way too much.

    NO sound from front headphone jacks.
    No hardware changes made.

    Oh and one more thing:
    In the Audio tab in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, it has this option of
    "Use only default devices"
    Is it OK to check that?
    Does that mean that if I choose Audigy 2 for the sound playback and etc. options, it would "lock" the default as Audigy 2?
    Because as I said, I don;t want to go back and forth switching from onboard to Audigy over and over.
    I just want Audigy as my sound, and be able to use the headphone jack on the front bevel of my computer.

  • HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer.  The sound still comes from the speakers.  Any solutions?

    The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds.  The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone.  The port has never worked.  Any solutions?

    okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

  • K9VGM-V with no audio on front headphone jack

    A week ago I put this MoBo in a eMachines Model T6216 that the original MoBo went up in smoke. I just now plugged the headphones into the front panel headphone jack and it doesn't work. When i go to the control panel and look in the sound tab it says that the headphones are not plugged in. Do I have a bad MoBo or is there a problem with my drivers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    but it doesn't mute the speakers when I plug the headphones into the headphone jack.
    You can manually disable the Rear Panel Jack that your speakers are plugged into via the Realtek HD Audio Manager. Simply klick onto the image that represents the corresponding audio jack.

    Also when I check the audio devices the headphones doesn't show up when they are plugged in.
    As was stated before, AC/97 front panel wiring is not 100% compatible with the Intel HD Audio/Azalia standard.  Disabling Automatic Front Panel Jack Detection of course has the consequence that your headphones are not automatically detected.  Stuff that is not detected do not appear as connected.  However, disabling the detection feature is the only way to get your front panel jack to work in spite of the incompatibility between AC/97 and Azalia specifications.

  • No Sound Output from front headphones jack on HPE-070a

    Two days ago, i purchased a new HPE-070a with Windows 7 64-bit and Realtek HD Audio Drivers. Unfortunately, while the sound output to the speakers from the rear jack is working really well, the headphone jack at the front of the box has no output. I've updated the Realtek drivers and reinstalled them as well,but when I run the troubleshooter, it tells me that "sound playing not functioning". The PC recognises that, once the headphones are in that's where the sound is output, but there's nothing going on.
    If you've got any ideas, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could let me know. If i don't have headphones, my girlfriend's going to be assaulted with Counter Strike and Dragon Age!
    Thanks.

    Beaker, have you checked in the Control Panel to assure that all boxes are checked correctly?  It may be that the headphone jack is not enabled.

  • High pitched (~15KHz) tone from front headphone jack

    I often use headphones plugged into the the front audio jack while using Final Cut Pro. After playing audio, I will often hear a very annoying tone somewhere around 15 KHz. Playing any audio will make the tone go away. Sometimes it doesn't come back, but it always eventually comes back. I can't wait till I get old and lose my hearing so I don't have to deal with this stupid tone.

    I had problems like this on my G5 tower (which I have since upgraded to a Mac Pro). I purchased a USB sound device to plug my headphones into. There are myriad options out there from M-Audio and other companies. Cost can be anywhere from ~$75 on up. If you are interested in this, I can post more info. The nice part about this route is that you will get much higher sound quality than the headphone jack on the computer because these external devices often have high quality DACs (digital to analog converter) chips.

  • No sound from front headphone jack after SoundBlaster installat

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value PCI Sound Card.
    I installed it as normal as any other PCI card. I disabled onboard sound in BIOS. I installed all the Creative software and drivers, and the sound is working...but only from the sound card at the back of the PC.
    I have on my Dell 4550,at the front of the PC tower: 2 USB ports (which still work), and a headphone jack, which doesn't work.
    The headphone jack at the front used to work before I instlaled the Audigy 2 card, but now, after the installation, it doens't work.
    Does anyone have a solution to this or an explanation as to why it is behaving like this?
    Any info is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Question about the front headphone jack and the X-Fi SoundC

    <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?
    I just bought the ExtremeGamer Fatalty Pro series card and have a question. This is my first time building a pc.
    <font face="Times New Roman" size="2">?
    I have a headphone jack on the front of my case in the bezel that plugs into my motherboard. Do I remove this connection (HDD/AC 97) from my motherboard and plug it into the SPDIF I/O connection on my X-Fi card? (hehe it fits) Or is the only way I can listen to my head phones is?on the back of the card? Meaning; now that im using the sound card and my onboard sound will be disable is headphone jack on the front no longer in use, dead?
    Im in the middle of the build, and wanted to ask before I powered up and ruined something.
    Thanks in advance!

    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.

  • Is there any way to disable external speakers w/front headphone jack?

    I do a lot of home recording, and that means I often switch back and forth from external speakers to headphones. However, when I plug my headphones into the front jack on my G4, the sound still plays out the external speakers. This is, obviously, quite bothersome. Is there any way to have my Mac disable the external speakers when I connect my headphones? Thanks!

    Searched, found out it isn't possible.

  • Upon startup Firefox says "Proxy is refusing connections." When I select "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced settings and solve problem, changes are not saved and upon next startup I must select again...!

    Firefox 4 was working fine. Then one day, when I started up Firefox, it says "Proxy is refusing connections." I solved this by selecting "Auto-Detect Proxy" from Advanced network settings, but my changes are not saved and upon every start-up I must select it again! (I even completely removed my webroot antivirus protection, as it as hindering many proxy related programs, but this seems to not be the source of the problem)

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

  • Headphone jack on front panel

    For a while now (since I installed parallels &/or leopard I think) I have a very quiet sound coming from the front headphone jack (by quiet I mean I can just hear the last 2 clicks on the system volume control).
    The headphones I am using work fine in the back line-out jack but the sound at the front is barely audible. I have looked at the midi preferences but the master channel is set low and greyed out - is this the issue and if so how can I edit that? I'm not sure because it's the same for the line-out on the back and the sound is normal there.
    I'm guessing it's probably a software issue as there is some sound coming out but can't find a fix anywhere??
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Dear Chris:
    This is not the answer you are looking for, but it may be an alternati've for you. I bought the i/o bay on EBAY for $40.00. The bay was bought originally bought from Auzentech and is identical to Creative's. It took me about two weeks to find it, but I works 00%. If you buy a part from a manufacturer, I would think it will be between $0-$20 and a lot of your time soldering or tinkering. Again, Ebay may not be to your liking, but it is better than $00 for a new one.

  • Headphone Jack no sound when plugged in ?

    music plays fine , when i plug in the jack the music stops (as normal) but no sound from headphones/jack ? pleas help thanks....

    emeres wrote: Do you look for something like this?
    I am not sure. I had a look at the code (I dont know Perl, though), and it seems that, in the end, all it does is issuing
    pacmd set-default-sink x
    However, when I do this manually, it doesnt switch the sound to the other sink.
    emeres wrote: I would check if udev recognizes that headphones are plugged in/out (udevadm monitor), create a rule and a script setting the default output via pacmd. Or create a systemd service, or your own script periodically checking the status.
    Unfortunately, udev does not seem to detect plugging in or out
    (udev monitor doesnt output anything when I plug headphones in or out).
    However, I can see the change in pacmd list-sinks as described above.
    When I set pulse log level to debug, I also get some output from there, indicating that it gets recognized:

  • Pin connector for front headphone ja

    The front headphone jack cable connection on my Dell 4600 is incompatible with my new Xtreme Gamer soundcard's male pin connection. Can anyone tell me where to find the correct female pin connector, and how do I know which leads go to which pin slots?Thanks?

    more or less to adapt the here is the crude way to do it. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. . Check to see if you have some slack from /8-/4" of an in in cable is going bye bye.2. Cut all the wires or the cable with all the colored ones in them about /2-" up the line.3. Strip exposed ends as to allow splicing on the Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Black, and brown cables only.4. on the plug side twist together these wire colors [The should always be back to back]:?Blue and Green??Yellow and Orange5. Splice the wires together from plug piece to wires goint to front:??[Blue+Green {Step 4}] to just the Blue Wire?The Purple and Navy Blue that went into the hole next to plugged are not used trim all off plug.
    [Yellow +Orange{Step 4}] to just the Yellow wire.
    Brown to Brown?Black to Black?Red to Red6. Check your work: Wires not connected that lead to front of computer should be: Grey, Orange, Purple, and Navy.7. Use electrical tape to cover exposed splices area on each splice. Make sure tight at least 2 rotations.8. Use electrical tape to wrap all wires together and tightly.9. Plug the newly rewired plug into your SB Card.0. DONE.

  • Headphone jack freezes comput

    Hello, I've recently had a problem where anything I plug into my front headphone jack immediately freezes the computer. What is funny is that if I do a hard shutdown (ctrl alt del is useless) and try to turn it back on, I get the fans of the computer on, but no feed is sent to the monitor and the power light is not green (although the loading light is green for a while at least). The only way I've found to turn on my computer is by unplugging the power source, plugging it back in, and then turning it back on, where it starts normally. But if I plug anything into the headphone jack, it immediately freezes.
    What do you think the problem is?

    Sounds like the motherboard's connection with the jack. Im assuming you're not pluging it directly into the Audigy, but into a port on the front of the Dell. This is a Dell problem, good luck with their support.
