A small window should show up saying that it has detected that something was plugged into that particular jack. Now plug in ONE thing - say, the front L/R speaker plug into the light green jack. Reboot your machine so it knows that there is nothing plugged into any jack.Дў. Unplug ALL the speakers, headphones, microphone, etc. I'll describe the sequence I have to use - yours should be similar.ДЎ. Arrange your equipment so you can reach the plugs and jack panel on the back of the computer, and also see your monitor and reach your keyboard and mouse for simple things. Now you'll need to do some work to set up that audio system. There you can find a drop-down list to select the Default Sound Playback device (Windows can only use one of these at a time) and ensure it is set to the on-board Realtek system. Then in Windows go through Control Panel to Sounds and Audio devices.

This may have caught you in a problem with the way Realtek systems implement a way to re-assign output ports.ДЇirst of all, check in Device Manager that you do have the Realtek device divers installed OK. Then you plugged them all back in when re-connecting everything.

I'm guessing that, when your system was not in use for a while, you had disconnected all the speakers, etc. What do I do? Is this a problem with the hardware? or some sort of drivers? or maybe its something to do with the nvidia high definition audio?

I am not sure what to do because I had windows 7 originally and ever since it began a week ago I decided to upgrade to windows 10 and it still is the same. I could hear a very faint static thump sound whenever there was a sound (whenever the green bar raises up). When I enabled it, the system seemed to recognize that i have an 3.5 mm audio jack plugged in and the speaker icon showed up however I could still not hear any sound despite the green bar raising up and down. IN my realtek hd audio manager i have the option of setting the front panel to play ac97 instead of hd audio.

I tried deleting the realtek drivers however the microsoft high definiton audio device doesnt recognize when i plug in my headphones in the jacks either. I tried different headphones and i used front and back panels and neither work. Then I started meddling around and installed a variety of different updates, including those for the realtek sound, windows, and nvidia graphics (I wanted to overall get the pc up to date with everything) and as a result now the speaker icon is greyed out and even though my headphones are plugged in it doesn't recognize them. I haven't used the computer in a year and everything worked fine when I just got it all back up a week ago. I have a asus rampage iv extreme board that came with realtek onboard sound.
