    Maybe someone has come across this before that can help out...I am running a GS75 Stealth 9SF that has been really nice to use, but last week the speakers stopped working, but sound worked when i plugged in headphones. I reinstalled the audio drivers and it fixed it at first, but now the speakers work and the headphones do not. When I plug in the headphones the sound dialogue box in the bottom right pops up and asks what was plugged in, I click headphones, and I get 1 second of the sound and then the box only says Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio) and there is other options. My RGB keyboard continues to respond to the sound but no sound is coming from anywhere. The realtek audio console recognizes that headphones got plugged in though when I open that program.

    I have rebooted, clean installed all audio drivers and programs. I have been searching high and low and cannot find a solution. There was one person who described the exact same thing on the MSI forums, but all he got was the generic reset audio drivers, and then he never responded again so I do not know if he even got it figured out.

    Anybody have some ideas?

    Disable Jack Detection in Realtek Audio Console. Then reboot and set the Speaker as default.
