My speakers are connected to the rear audio output panel and my headphone in the front audio output panel. I tried changing the setting in sound/playback devices. I can only use my speakers as default devise. My headphone can only be set as default commucation device but not default devise (click set as default devise but nothing happens). Jul 13, 2019 After I restarted my Computer all rear audio jacks as well as the front audio jacks stopped working. I can safely say, that it is not an issue with my Speakers. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Realtek HD Audio drivers numerous times, everytime getting different results.
Splitting the front and back audio ports of your Soundcard allows you to use various different Audio setups to in or exclude sound sources.
Below you can see the Realtek Control Panel (Asus styled) as well as an example Via Control Panel:
Switch Between Front And Rear Audio Speakers
Use the marked options to split your Audio ports, next we want to make sure you can see all Audio devices in your Windows System. So please open the control panel and then the Sound options:
Switch Between Front And Rear Audio Interface
For the moment we want to see all disabled and disconnected Devices. Later on you can deactivate both checkmarks. Similar to my example picture you should have a 2nd output device (Realtek or VIA) that might be disabled at the moment, then enable it. Now you are ready to go and use the split ports.
