I think I am in the correct place to ask for help, but i'm not really sure. All I know is my RealTek Sound system is driving me insane and I need some help.
I bought my computer with the RealTek Audio system already loaded and everything has been going OK for the past 18 months. Then the system started acting up and I can't fix the problem.
The RealTek Sound Manager window keeps popping up saying that a jack has been unplugged. The sound works fine, speakers are putting out sound. I have never unplugged or plugged in any jacks. As far as I know everything is set the way it was set when I bought the computer. No matter what I do this window will no stop popping up. It does it constantly and then all of a sudden I can cancel the window and it stops popping up. The window won't pop up for maybe a month or so and then it starts all over again popping up. It just keeps repeating this process over and over no matter what I do. I have finally figured out how to stop the Audio Manager window from popping up (I unchecked the boxed to notify when a jack has been plug/unplugged). But now there is a new problem. A bubble over the RealTek icon in my system tray now pops up saying a "jack has been unplugged" and then a few seconds later it will pop up saying a "jack has been plugged" and it keeps going back and forth "plugged" and "unplugged" and just will not stop. This is driving me crazy. I don't know what to do.
The sound works fine. I don't care if a jack has been plugged or unplugged, I just want these popup windows and bubbles to stop.
I don't know what the system wants me to do to stop this. I want a permanent stop, not just a quick fix. Something has changed and I don't know what it is.
PLEASE HELP.
