Thanks buddy. I was struggling to find a fix for quite a long time. Thanks a lot, finally, i get rid of the messages.

Your version of the audio driver is old. Some things are different now. Also, saying “click on the yellow icon” doesn’t help at all since other versions don’t have a yellow icon. How about using the NAME of the icon instead of what colour it is? I also have to state that I don’t think shutting off all the advanced features of the board is a solution. The odds are that just one of the things you did solved the problem, I highly doubt you needed to do them all. Thanks for the info though. I will try these one at a time and keep the one that works. By the way, your twitter/facebook like/tweet thing is blocking the text on your page.

So if the audio driver is old and my Mobo manufacture only has the audio driver, what should I do?

I have slightly different settings given that it’s a newer version of the Realtek HD Manager but setting them to what was stated didn’t seem to do it for me. I’m runing Windows 7, 64 bit, on an Asus U46E. The mic doesn’t seem to be working at all.
If I uninstalled RealTek all together, might that do the trick or do you have any additional suggestions?
Thank you.

I have also the same problem it just keep popping up that you just plug/unplug a device from audio jack. Updated drives, disabled notification from front panel jack detection but still the problem has not solved. Hoping that Realtek should come up with a solution.

Deactive plugged and unplugged notification by uncheck “display icon in notification area” option and click “OK”. – the stupid tutorial ever, that just disables realtek icon in task bar
yeah!
this advice is pish!!!!!

I don’t have a yellow icon. I’m using an Ausus laptop, so I just have an analog audio jack at the front and that’s it. There’s no yellow icon or “device advanced settings”, by that matter. The audio just plugs in and out intermittently. It’s really annoying. Please help.

A lifesaver. Some suggested turning off the popup message, but that doesn’t fix the underlying issue and I found snagit wouldn’t render the video correctly. You correctly identified the cause and now all works. Many thanks

This is not a solution of real problem, it just disables notification but sound is still interrupting. Sorry but this is lame.

Before proceeding with the topic, let’s see what Realtek HD Audio manager is. It is a software which is sued to control the audio settings and the quality of whatever you are playing. It involves the speakers and the headphones too and clears their sounds. It is used by the people who love to hear the clear and high quality audio for their personal use, or in the work.

This software has a six channel digital to analogue convertor with a 16.20.24-bit pulse code modulation in channel audio of 5.1.
In order to listen the best quality music, this driver contributes a lot and makes sure to provide the sound in its best quality. Those who want to manage the pitches and different sound levels, can use this program as it is highly convenient to control all the settings. This software directly deals with the controlling and functioning of different types of sounds.

How to use Realtek HD Audio Manager Windows 10
The main issue can be that after you install the Realtek HD Audio manager on Windows 7, the pink front panel microphone jack socket, or the green front panel microphone jack socket is not working properly. The main reason for this thing could be that the Older RM computers have AC97 compatible front audio header. You require a headphone or a microphone to test the functioning of this driver.
Complete Procedure
- First you need to check that you have the latest version of Realtek HD Audio manager which is compatible with the Windows 7.
- Double click on the Realtek HD Audio Manager on the tray icon.
- Click on the small folder icon option.
- You need to check that the disable front panel jack detection box is clear.
- Insert the jack plug of a headphone or a microphone in the front panel socket of the computer.
- If you get the notification of some headphone been plugged in, then the settings are totally alright and you do not need to change them.
- If not, then enable the disable front jack detection box.
Volume setting
You can do this in the speaker tab and adjust the levels of the sound. Same is the process of adjusting the sounds of a microphone.
Setting the default device
You can set the default device for your computer wither your speakers, or the microphone to avoid issues.
Testing the microphones and speakers
The recording and playback tabs in the Windows 7 would help a lot in testing the sounds of the microphone. For this purpose, you can simply open a recorder after plugging in the microphone. Afterwards, record an audio and then save it into the multimedia of your computer. Mow, you can select the window media Player to play this audio in order to test it.
The microphone in Realtek HD Audio Manger is muted
Jack Mic Realtek Audio Driver
Sometimes, when you plug in the microphone and try to play it, it seems to be muted. This can be checked by clicking on the start and then going to the control panel. Click on the Realtek HD Audio manager and open the microphone tab in it. For playback volume settings, you will see a red cross over there which you need to remove. By removing this cross, you will be able to unmute the microphones thus, bringing them into use. Hence, you can use all such methods to resolve all the issues with the speakers and microphones. This is the way through which the Realtek HD Audio manager is used. You may contact the customer care and tech support as well if you still find difficulty in learning about this driver.
