If you still don't see it then you will likley need to download the Realtek audio driver package, which will likely be most readily available from your laptop manufacturer's website in the support section. Realtek HD Audio Manager in Windows Control Panel If that doesn't work try looking in Control Panel via File Explorer and setting the display to Small Icons or All Items (depending on windows version). You can try pressing Win+R and pasting C:\Windows\system32\RTSnMg64.cpl and see if that brings up Realtek's manager. If the Realtek audio drivers are installed, there is likely a "Realtek HD audio manager" control panel as well. If any more information or clarification is needed, please let me know. To see all available playback devices, please refer to images 2 and 3 attached. There are more playback devices currently listed on my laptop, however upon much investigation, none seem to account for when the headphones are plugged in, and sound only plays from the current active device (Image 1) regardless if the rest are disabled or enabled: This becomes an issue if I were playing headphones sound on 50 for example and they happened to unplug, in which would then play the sound immediately from my speakers at 50 volume. I am attempting to separate this playback devices into speaker sound and headphone sound so that I am able to disable the laptop speakers whilst using headphones, so that if the headphones were to become unplugged, no sound would play from the speakers, or so I can generally disable each when needed.Ĭurrently, both the speakers and headphones work on the same volume level - i.e if I were to turn the speaker volume to 0 and then plug in my headphones, the headphone volume would also be 0 and vice versa.

Currently, my laptop (MS Windows 10 Home) has one playback device - named "Speakers, Realtek(R) Audio" in which accounts for both the internal speaker sound as well as the sound when headphones are plugged in.
