you can get more complicated by attaching a small two way toggle switch that allows you to use either speakers or the newly made headphone extension. Easy as pie if you want only headphones left balance and speakers right balance. Open the laptop or ask a technician to do so if you are wary of this and attach a male 1/4 inch jack to the speaker wires with both speakers wired to one output and the other to the jack.

Most Laptops have two speakers and the wires are universally red and black.

I had sound so I thought out of the box here.literally! This can work but blue screens irregularly which is not what I wanted. My laptop chipset is realtek audio with only two jack inputs (Mic and Audio) and the chipset does not allow task remapping unless I physically edited the OEM34.inf file and the HDAUD.inf. I have a solution that works quite nicely for broken audio jack on a non re-mappable laptop. Thanks for suggestions, greatly appretiated In pictures I've seen on the internet there is a 'Device Advanced Settings' button (as seen in this picture ) but my program doesn't have this.ĭo I need to download a newer version of the software? or is it just not possible to change my mic port to be my headphone port? I dont mind if I have to use third party software, I just want it to tide me over till I can get it sent away. My laptop only has a headphones port and a mic port, and I would like to see if I can switch the mic port to be the headphones port because I never use an external mic, however in Realteks audio manager I can't find out how to do this.

The laptop has Realtek HD audio manager, and in my experience of this program on other desktops I've had, I was able to change what port does what. My laptop had headphones plugged in because I was watching a film, but while I was in another room, my laptop was knocked onto the floor (around 1.5-2 ft drop) landing on the headphones jack, the wire is fine, but the ports completely broken, I can see cracks and its loose and everything
