Just a few days ago Realtek HD Audio Manager started acting strange. A pop up from the tray icon will say "You just plugged something in to the audio jack!" and then shortly after "A device has been unplugged from the audio jack." What boggles me is I'm not plugging/unplugging things in to the audio jack  .

I take it you have a speaker set plugged in? If so, try replacement leads if you can.
If not, some more information about yoour computer would be handy. I.E. Is it a pc or a laptop, what windows version are you using, etc...

The leads on the creative speakers should be replaceable and shouldn't cost a lot so i think that that is what you should try first.
You probably need 3.5mm stereo to 3.5mm stereo i suspect. If you have the model name\number of your speakers handy i should be able to tell you if you need that or a 3.5mm to phono instead.

Well I'm not having an problems with audio output so I don't think replacing anything will be required.

Any crackling of any kind? Or pops perhaps?

If your getting the message when you do have the spks plugged in,
then the jack is probably making intermittent connections.
Plugging and unplugging devices from the computer eventually wears out the
jacks like those as well as ac/dc power for laptops.
Just my perspective.
Good luck. |

Have you installed any hardware or software that coincides with the problem?
Have you done antivirus and antimalware scans recently? If so, with what?

Try unchecking the box to notify when a jack has been plug/unplugged
Audio Manager window

Good idea from BW. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling the driver from your mobo's manufacturers website.

It might be worth checking the power supply for the speakers if there is one - if the voltage is unstable this would have the same result....

just thought I'd try and conclude this for anyone who visits this and hasn't found a solution.
The problem I had was that my front panel mic and audio jack would both beleive that they had been plugged in to, now I'm not sure if this is an issue with connections inside my computer because I never use then and have nothing plugged in to them. Anyway so at any point one of the two jacks will be active and every now and then they will switch.
Every time this happens it notifies me that an audio jack has been unplugged and straight after that a jack has been plugged in too. Becuase I never use then I simply disabled them.
I did this by opening the Realtek HD audio manager window and went to "Connector settings" which is the little folder icon in top left hand corner of the window and tick the "disable front panel jack detection" and this will stop the notifications.
Hopefully this helps

Ah yes, this too has been driving me crazy. Solution:
1. open Control Panel, select Hardware and sound.
2. Scroll down and select Realtek HD Audio Manager.
3. Click on the little "i" in the lower right-hand corner.
4. Turn off the "Display icon in notification area" radio button.
5. Click "OK" twice.
done.

Surely if it was a jack intermittency problem he'd be having problems with sound dropping out, too?
EDIT: Wow, August, this place really is dead :S

Hi,
JackSense with AC97 front and HDaudio back.
what's that mean?
The BIOS can be set to either, and the Front audio connector has to match the BIOS choice.
The Back can do either, and there leis the cause of the problem.
AC97 has different wiring for JackSense, and the front, wired up to AC will offer its BIOS choice (HD), which will confuse the person making the choice.
When YOU force HD to AC, it is wrong, at times, but not all the time.
Lessons learned, Check BIOS before you connect 5.1 or 7.1 or 2.1 or straight 2 line stereo headphone (Zalman have a splendid 5.1 headphone, btw), because that is where the confusion begins.
Kind regards, Jaak

Reprise,
dazed and unconfused
check the front connector plugged into audio front connector on motherboard.
When AC97 is connected and Bios says HD-audio, and you have no need for HD-audio (your speakers nor headphones have all its capabilities), you can still switch the connector to match the BIOS setting (to HD-aud)because HD-audio will work with headphones.
(front and back will correctly sense simple stereo, 2.1 sets, 5.1 sets, and more modern will do 7.1 too.)
AC97 connector, will not do 7.1 and 5.1 and 2.1 on headphone, and AC97 cannot handle 7.1 at the back)
HD-audio in Bios will usually correctly do jack-sense
AC97 might.
I hope this made sense. I am NOT called Jack.
