Hey /diy/



Long time ago, I managed to bent my 3.5mm Audio Jack in my desktop computers motherboard.



Now that would not matter to me much since i'm using external audio interface anyway, but

 I have nothing plugged in the port, and my motherboard keeps detecting a nonexistent audio device , making a popup flicker at my desktop every second. I managed to get rid of the popup but, my programs and games keep detecting and losing connection to that nonexistent audio device, giving me a lot of stutter and cpu spikes.



I'm asking if there is any way to disable audiojack detection from your motherboard completely.



my motherboard is ASRock Z77 Pro4

Check your BIOS settings.

Yeah, disable the audio device entirely in the BIOS, probably the simplest way. Not worth trying to fight with Realtek's shitty drivers.

At some point way in the future you will forget you did this and be confused trying to make it work, though.

You could also disable the audio device in hardware/device manager under control panel. Just find it in the tree, right click, disable.

Open device manager and disable it.

It is, probably should be on /g/.

What has your obsession gained you?

Replace the jack if you're not a useless niggerfaggot.

This may or may not work. It sounds like the device is flaky and is stopping and starting, and each time the system detects it it's popping up. In that case it will disappear and reappear from the device manager as a new device, so disabling it won't work. Shutting it off in the BIOS is the best answer.



Also /g/ is a jerkfest of AI porn generation and arguing over which OS/browser/programming language most supports trannies. They're useless.

op is most likely talking about how modern sound cards detect the insertion of speakers and microphones, which could be triggered by a damaged minijack. there's a switch inside the jack which is disconnected when you insert a plug, if op damaged this so it's only loosely touching without anything plugged in, it may cause the sound card to sporadically think something is being plugged in

disabling the sound card entirely (bios, device manager) will solve this issue, as the sound card will no longer be active to even check the jacks, or at the very least, plug events won't make it to the OS, as that goes through its driver, which is disabled (not running)
