[ISSUE] Sound playing through both headphones and speakers

[Murtag]

Hi, I noticed when i plug in my headphones into my computer, the headphones work but the speakers do not deactivate. I unplug the headphones and plug them back in, that deactivates the speakers temporarily but after a couple minutes the speakers activate on their own so I have to do it again. so I updated the drivers through support.asus.com that did not fix the issue. i muted the speakers and it mutes the headphones too so, i mute the headphones too and unmute them and the headphones work for a couple minutes and then stop working and i have to do it again. when i unmute the speakers, it all works, but it ALL works, the speakers and the headphones. so I have no real workaround except that i unplug and re-plug the headphones.

I'm about to start school within a week and I definitely will not have time to troubleshoot these sorts of problems. Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try the most recent drivers from the realtek site.

1) What model ASUS laptop do you own, @Murtag?

2) What version audio driver is it currently running?

I'm using a G75V, and I had hoped that the VIA audio driver version 6.0.01.60100 from the asus support site would fix this, although it hasn't.

@c_man claims that issue is resolved with his settings in http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?20589-Via-Audio-Driver-v6.0.01.10800a&p=145905&viewfull=1#p.... There is also a new VIA driver release, version 6.0.01.10800a. You may as well give it a shot...

I recommend you reply to that thread and abandon this one.

[Murtag]

Thank you, I'll give that a shot and see if this works.

I have not seen once the problem with 10600a or 10800a and I use headphones daily. BUT, I did a clean install with 10600a. I don't know if updating those old buggy drivers is the reason why you still have this.

[Murtag]

I downloaded 10800a and it still has not fixed the issue.

@Murtag and @Ayman - you need to find out what @c_man is doing right to resolve your audio issues.
