front jack input detection not working

[sbridgey]

when i plug headphone into my front jack my computer will play audio through my headphones and my speakers at the same time instead of switching.

i have checked my mobo audio drivers and they are upto date on asus site
my board is a asus p5n-73cm using via audio

in the audio driver control panel it normally highlights detected inputs but none of my front jack inputs are detected but sound will travel to them

it seems very odd to me

hope someone can help me

was worth a go.

My HP does something similar sometime, do you have seperate volume controls for headphone and speakers? sometimes a fiddle with these does the job

 

[sbridgey]

no that is the problem the headphones and speakers are running from "speaker" audio on my pc so i cant fiddle with it

right, I'm out then.
