1. Use Headphones Not Speakers
2. Sound Not Going Through Headphones

The Windows audio indicators say that sound is passing through the system but when my headphones are plugged in, no sound comes out. When unplug them, the speakers work. Uninstalling and re-installing the drivers every time this happens is not an option.

Use Headphones Not Speakers

I was having some issues with my harddrive having a memory leak and it was running out of space. I tried to install a Nvidia driver and everything got screwed up on my computer. I use a sli system with two video cards. I didn't realize at first it was my harddrive, so I switched the cards ports and later managed to get the video driver to install correctly after clearing space on my harddrive. My physical speakers have not worked since.I can get audio to play perfectly now from my headphones, but my speakers will not play sound no matter how hard I try.

I've tried making sure they're enabled, I've tried re-installing the audio driver multiple times. I've tried everything I can think of with my sound settings and I can't figure out what's going on. My physical speakers are a surround sound system. I have 3 ports (black, orange, green used right now) that my speakers use. The computer detects that these are hooked up in the realtek control panel (ports are highlighted while the rest are transparent).In order to rule out an actual issue with the speakers, I tapped the tips of the plugins for the speakers and it reacted to tapping with sounds from the speakers.I've cloned the harddrive to a new fixed one with a higher memory capacity since this problem started. I did a test for corruption with command 'sfc /scannow' in run and found nothing.

The new harddrive hasn't fixed the problem.Any ideas?

Yea, I've tried going through and changing default devices.

Trying to 'test' any of the devices in playback is what I was doing to try to see if it was working at all. Whenever I try to 'test' or 'configure speakers' and do the sound test, it plays no sound at all, but will work perfectly when I have a headphone plugged in.I've gone through and switched the speakers off and on as the default device and I've also gone into the sound options in the bottom right taskbar switching between what sound should be playing though, nothing has helped this issue.:/.
