Audio Jack not working

[lcajal]

I recently bought an HP Omen laptop, model 15-ax008ns, with Windows 10 and Bang&Olufsen audio. Whenever I try to play some sound, it comes out through the laptop's built in speakers, even if I have headphones connected to the audio input/output jack. I have tried with many diferent headphones, updated the drivers and checked the audio configuration, but I can't find a way to solve it.

Thanks in advance for your time

Thank you for posting on HP Forums, 

Riddle_Decipher is at your service. 

As I Understand the audio jack and the internal speaker are working the same time,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution: 

Have you reinstalled the audio drivers from the device manager?

Did you update it using the HP website?

While you respond to that, you may try the below steps to resolve the issue,

Check the 'Disable front panel jack detection' option: 

1. Double-click on the Audio Manager system tray icon 

2. Click on small folder icon  

3. Check that the 'Disable front panel jack detection' tick box is unticked. 

4. Now insert the jack plug of either a microphone or headphones into the corresponding front panel socket of your computer. 

5. If you now see the message 'Information: A jack has been plugged in', then you do not need to change this setting as your system has an HDA compatible front panel. 

6. If you do not see this message, then click on the small folder icon again and tick the 'Disable front panel jack detection' check box. 

If any of the above options are unavailable, install the latest drivers for your audio adapter and then try again: Click here for the drivers

Let me know how that pans out

I hope you have a good day ahead,

First of all, thank you for the help.

To clarify, the problem isn't that the headphones and speakers work at the same time, but that the sound always comes out of the speakers, so when I connect the headphones, these don't work and the sound keeps coming out of the speakers.

Regarding the drivers, yes, I had updated them all usuing the device manager, the HP website and HP's Support Assistant app.

I have also followed your instructions regarding the Audio Manager. At first I could not find it, so I downloaded the app "Realtek HD Audio Manager" from the official site. During the installation, the program reinstalled the drivers again, but when the installation finished (with a couple of reboots in between), the problem was still there and I still can't launch the Audio Manager app, as if it was not installed. 

The last thing I did was, following the instructions posted on a bunch of forums I found, trying to disable the front panel jack detection through the register, modifying the file "EnableDynamicDevices" located in

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001\GlobalSettings"

After all of this attempts, the problem is still not solved. 

Again, thanks for you time and help

Hi @lcajal,

Thank you for your patience,

Will we wait for the update from the concerned team, I would like to check if you have done the Bios update. 

If you haven't tried it, let's try updating the Bios, Chipset drivers as well as audio drivers from our HP support website, using this link.

Also, download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.

Refer this link to know how to use HP support assistant.

Hello @Jeet_singh,

I already have installed HP support assistant, and I used it before but it didn't solve my problem. About the BIOS update, I will try it, I just need the link (the word link in your previous message doesnot have the url inserted in it).

Once I have the link I will update the BIOS and let you know how it went.

Thanks,
