• Making black audio port the same as headphone jack?
    2 replies, posted
Hi, I was wondering if it was at all possible to turn the black audio port on the back of my computer into a headphone jack. The front headphone must not be well housed or something (I don't understand this stuff) because I get static whenever I move the mouse and whenever the computer is doing things. The green port on the back of the computer however doesn't have this static, but I'd like to use this for my main speakers. If it is possible I'd like to be able to use the black port above the green one as my headphone jack and be able to switch between the two as if it were a normal jack. This is an integrated sound care, the drivers are Realtek HD. Thanks.
unless you hack the drivers, no. Buy something along the line of this: [url]http://www.amazon.com/Speaker-Headset-Switching-Manhattan-172851/dp/B000K8PH8C/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327173172&sr=1-1[/url]
On most Realtek cards yes, though on some only the Line in and Mic ports can be reallocated whereas surround ports such as the black one cannot be changed. Just double click the ports in the realtek control panel: [img]http://imgkk.com/i/vk65.png[/img]
