Comments on: No Sound From Front Audio Jack With Jack Sensing http://www.lebokov21.com/2008/02/11/no-sound-from-front-audio-jack-with-jack-sensing/ Blogging my experiences on computing and gaming.

I think that it was sheer stupidity on the part of RealTek for having jack-sensing enabled BY DEFAULT. This means that hundreds and thousands of new computer owners plugging headphones and speakers into the front audio jack (for the first time) will hear nothing, and then waste lots of time wondering if they have failed hardware. RealTek should have jack-sensing DISABLED by default, and then just give people the option to enable it later. Or at least have some kind of documentation in the instruction manual (in big writing) that indicates to the computer-users that front-panel-audio can often be enabled by (counter-intuitively) DISABLING jack-sensing in the realtek sound manager software.

To get the front jack to work I had to go into the Bios and enable the internal sound card. That did the trick; however, when I use the front jack I get this nasty hissing/static noise coming through the headphones.

Click recording right click anywhere where the devices should be and select show disabled devices Make sure your microphone is enabled. For Vista try this:
