    No sound coming out of earphones (ONLY speakers work)


    Today when I plugged in my earphones (the apple ones) and there was no audio at all, but somehow it worked totally fine without the earphones. Even realtek detected something when I plugged my earphones, I also went to device manager to check if every driver is updated or not but still ended up no luck.

    things i know:
    - Audio is perfect without earphones plugged in
    - only 'Speakers' is shown as my playback device
    - went to device manager and i'm pretty sure all drivers are up to date and enabled
    - everything was working fine the last time i booted into my windows10 (dual booting with linux)
    - realtek detected my earphone as it popped up a notification saying 'you just plugged a device into the audio jack'

    if you need to know more about my computer just ask
    please help

    Hey mate,

    Find your laptop here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- 搜尋

    download the audio driver for Windows 10, and install it. If it asks, tell it to install or repair. It will first uninstall your audio driver, require a restart, and then install the audio driver. If this doesn't fix it, see if behind the computer (the green audio jack) still works.

    Let me know!

    im unsure which OS i should choose since I've upgraded my OS to windows 10 from windows 7 and the only options they provide are 'win 7,8 and others'. I actually installed the latest realtek drivers from the official realtek website 'R2.79' and restarted but the earphones still won't work.
    I'm starting to doubt whether it's to do with the drivers or is it something to do with the settings?

    Your motherboard manufacturer provides the best driver for your board, but if they don't have it for Win 10, I would bet that to be the problem. But that is all I know about, someone else may have some advice for you shortly

    Try the drivers from Microsoft Catalog. They are version 6.0.1.7592 and the R2.79 are version 6.0.1.7541.

    Funny, I have the exact OPPOSITE problem right now after doing a clean install of Windows 10. No sound from laptop speakers, only head phones ...

    The response, "There are no Windows 10 drivers for my laptop", is why the minority aren't able to find a solution. There are exceptions, however.

    I can't fix a bad driver, though!

    I tried uninstalling the drivers, but they just came back - automatically re-installed. So I had to turn off the windows setting to automatically download driver software, then uninstall. I then used Lenovo's system update utility to download the drivers. It works now :)

    You would think they would be the same drivers :)
