Hello.

Recently i upgraded my Pc into Windows 7 Home Basic (dont know if this works fine as Prof..) before that i was using a Os XP which worked fine with my headphones and speakers at the same time. So after instaling Os Windows 7 something went wrong with my audio, i have Surround Genius SW-HF5.1 5000 150 watts 5.1 5.1 Home Theater Speaker System Full Specs Here
and i use Headphones Kennion Kos-7600Full Specs Here.

Before the upgrade i was using the front jacks for the Headphones and worked fine with Os XP, at this moment with my new Os Windows 7 speakers works fine but the front jacks dont and im not able to use my headphones, i have installed and upgraded all drivers for my sound card but didint helped. When i open my Playback devices it pop this no headphones there: Picture Here here are details about my sound device Picture Here.
Btw in the back of my computer tower i have 3 pin connectors which are ideal for my 5.1 Surround now i can only use the headphones there only to get sound and not able to use my microfon as well.

Let me know if want to know something that i have don't say it.
 


What driver did you installed for w7?
 



I let the windows to download for me through the action center, i think that my sound card dont have a 64 bit drivers.. can this be the problem?
 


What card are we talking about?
Some times, I have had a case, you need to disable, in realtek manager, front plug detection, and then when you plug headphones into front jack it will work; until then front jack is not working.
