Often, I'd want to connect a headset, without disabling the inner speakers. You can do this if you have multiple playback devices (accessed by right click on speakers, playback devices and show disabled/disconnected drivers). If you only have a single one, you can use the Realtek HD Audio Manager that is bundled with every audio driver ever..
Except my laptop, where dell decided that this audio manager is too good and replaced it with Dell Audio. A crappy piece of software unable to do most of what I want. I want to open Realtek HD Audio Manager, I can't seem to find it though. I can find RAVCpl64.exe which has the description of "Realtek HD Audio Manager" in Program Files\Realtek\Audio\HDA, but running it does absolutely nothing.
I tried reinstalling the latest audio update from the dell website, nothing really interesting happens. I can't seem to find the name of my audio driver so I can install it directly from realtek website and avoid dell altogether.
Right now, my audio jack sensor is broken, it doesn't notice that I unplugged my headset, making me entirely unable to use the inner speakers.
I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3521. It's like that Dell employees are paid to make my computer worse... wait
Bottomline: I need a way to output sounds from laptop's inner speakers, even if a headset is plugged in. Otherwise, can someone suggest a good laptop brand that I should buy later when I have enough money,because this is not the only problem I'm encountering with Dell. (terrible screen quality with poor connection resulting in two yellow lines appearing vertically, limited BIOS access, disallowing 3rd party chargers, and sometimes identifying their own charger as 3rd party wtf)
