how can I separate my rear audio jack from my front audio jack? ok so this is what I'm working with.. I have my headset in the rear jack and I just went to add a set of speakers to the front jack, however when I plug my speakers in the audio goes straight to them. I tried opening Realtek audio manager but I guess this system runs off NVidia. so now the issue becomes how do I open that audio manager to separate the jacks? I want to be able to switch them so that when I'm not gaming I can listen to music without unplugging anything

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to separate the front and back audio jack.
Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.
I recommend you follow the below steps and check if it helps.
- Update your Realtek High definition Audio driver to the latest version from this link.
- Click the document folder icon in Realtek HD Audio Manager, and check both options,
- Click Device Advanced Settings and select separate all input jacks as independent input devices.
- press OK and finished.
Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
