Inderpland Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have a laptop Asus Zenbook UX 305 which runs Win 10. I use a free* driver update program (Driver Booster) and recently it installed a new audio driver (Realtek something) that was very annoying (got a dashboard that wanted all kinds of input) so I deleted it. Now I'm not able to use earphones connected to the supplied jack, only via Bluetooth. Looking at the Device Manager it also looks like there is something missing for earphones. If anyone has any ideas about what I should do then please let me know. * The Driver Booster program is very annoying and I can't get past the "Upgrade to Pro version" spiel so looking for alternatives.

ballpoint Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Earphones come under the same settings as speakers, as they plug into the same jack. Go to your sound settings, select Speakers as your audio output, and increase the volume if it's set too low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafPinto Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Your earphones are absolutely fine. Maybe you are deaf. Can you hear me, hello.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
