    Hello Guys

    I own a GT683R and I'm very please with it.

    However I have found this annoying "issue" I hope you know how to solve.

    Whenever I connect something to the audio jacks on the right, the internal mic gets disabled. I have connected from a simple Sonny Ericsson earbuds, to a Senheisser HD448 Headphones and a Logitech X540 5.1 speakers, and every time the internal mic stops working.

    I have connected the speakers when having the realtek control panel open, and as soon as I connect something, I can see the mic indicator on the right be grayed out instantly.

    Is this supposed to be this way? Because it's really annoying. Or did I messed up some configuration?


    Thanks

    Set your speakers to 2.1 rather than 5.1.

    Hey thanks for your response

    Didnt work

    Here´s a screenshot of the control panel with speakers set to 2.1 when one connector in

    And here´s the same control panel. but with the connector from the green port removed

    See the mic on the fistr image, gets disabled even when in 2.1, and just one connector in
