1. Go into 'Control Panel'.


2. Click 'Realtek HD Audio Manager'


3. In the audio manager, top right of the window is a little icon that looks like an open folder.(Hover the pointer over it, it says, "Connector Settings'. Click that.


4. You should see check boxes, 1 labeled 'Disable front panel jack detection'. Check that box.


5. Your sound should now be working.
