SOLVED Plug in headphones problem

[arnnad]

Speakers are not disabled by plug in headphones and fixes are temporary. Have considered wireless bluetooth headphones but Settings>Sound doesn't show separate speakers, headphones option. I rarely use my speakers so just pulling the plug is an option. I have a Dell XPS 8930.
Any comments on the Bluetooth idea?
Thanks

I have no idea just see what happens. I am not quite seeing the seriousness of this problem.

Are you saying that when you plug in headphones your built in speakers do not turn off

My speakers turn off when I use my headphones. Either by Bluetooth or by plugging them into the Line out on my pc. True for W10 and W11 on my machines.

Yes. Have tried reinstalling and upgrading Realtek. Also, blowing out the plug-in port. Have searched for a solution but have the impression it's a common problem with no easy fix.

it might be hardware issue. Is it playing audio through the jack?

If so select the speaker icon in windows and hit speakers/headphones. the computer should automatically turn off speakers and play through jack. Also, is it playing through both sides of earbuds or headphones?

try rolling back drivers although i am very sure it is hardware issue. Has this issue been around as long as your computer existed or did it just start?

Finally installed Realtek HD, with help from Windows troubleshooter [first time it ever worked]. Anyway, the headphones work and speakers shut off! Hope it will continue.
Thanks for your input
