My mate has a problem with his sound, basically the computer thinks there is always something plugged into the front headphone socket and thus permanently mutes the rear socket so his speakers don't work.
I'd created a work around for him in that I told his computer to always output sound to the rear socket even when headphones are plugged in via the realtek drivers. He has to physically turn the speakers off when using headphones, but no big deal.
This was WinXP, he is now trying out Win8 and I can no longer find a similar option in the sound settings. Does anyone know how I can achieve a similar fudge in Win8? Or even better how I can fix the socket itself?
Thanks.
