    Can anyone remap a desktop headphone jack to some other jack running Windows 10?

    I fried the headphone jack on my HP P7-1549 desktop today, by removing the soundblasters cable from it while one of the few speakers linked to it was still on. It made a buzzing sound and since then the is no sound or very little unless I crank it up at maximum.
    A few years ago the same happened with an older pc and I succeeded to remap the headphone jack to any of the 5 others on the back using win7’s regedit and old Realtek drivers :

    Since then no one seems to have found a way to do the same with Windows 10. I would love a programmer to make a simple software to choose which jack to remap easily.

    Anyone can lend a hand?

    My only workaround for now is a little usb drive with a portable soundcard, but I hope it’s temporary.

    Have you tried both front and back ports?

    Double check to make sure that the cable that you removed is connected correctly.

    Check the soundcard setting and make sure that all cable are reseated.

    Reseat the soundcard

      Both front and back act the same.

        Make and model of the current sound card that is in the system?

        Is it an actual card or built onto the motherboard?

          Have you thought about replacing the audio card and if built onto the motherboard getting a internal sound card.
