Hi all,
I have had my Dell Inspiron laptop for about 4 years now. The problem started this summer, but I haven't tried to resolve it until now. Randomly while I am working on my computer, in the bottom right hand corner a notification pops up that will say "You just plugged a device into the audio jack" and then a few seconds later it will say "You just unplugged a device into the audio jack" even when I am not inserting anything into the audio jack. This will go on constantly, honestly for 30 minutes at a time and then will randomly stop and start up again out of nowhere. It comes from the Realtek HD audio manager. It is very annoying because if I try to listen to music from the speakers, it will constantly think I am putting headphones in and the sound will cut out for a few seconds then come back on. The only way to resolve it is to actually put in headphones and listen through my headphones.
I need to have this fixed because I am starting to do skype interviews and when this happens, the person cannot hear what I am saying and my voice cuts in and out.
Please someone help me fix this problem, I am desperate!
Thanks,
Lee
