The only time I am able to get audio is when I plug my video card into my TV via HDMI. Whenever I plug in Speakers or headphones I get nothing. My computer detects they are in but still nothing. My playback devices available are Realtek Digital Output, Speakers and Samsung DLP-1. Does anybody have any insight of what the problem could be? I was thinking my on board audio is shot.

right click on my computer and then when the window appears left click on device manager on the left. in the next windows click the + next to sound video,and game controllers. then you should see something with the name of your sound device right click on it and then click uninstall. after that close everything and restart the computer. once it reinstalls the sound driver check for sound

Which ones do I uninstall?

hard to know without seeing it just do it to all of them. they will all get reinstalled anywayA few things happened after doing that. Now in my Playback devices it lists, Digital Audio (S/PDIF), Headphones and Speakers. I have headphones plugged in and it has a green check mark next to it and it says audio is there but I hear nothing. And in my device manager under sound it lists the same 4 "Nvidia high Definition Audio" and now another one says "High Definition Audio Device". Still no sound after uninstalling and re installing the drivers.

you have to disable the nvidia audio drivers. there telling the pc to use the hdmi/video card as the output for sound and not the mb. the green port on the back is going to be the output port for your sound. go to your mb vendor web page and download the sound drivers for your mb. in windows go to the control pannel and under nvidia sound click disable.

Also, how would I disable the Nvidia audio drivers? Through the Nvidia control panel? This is all it shows. http://gyazo.com/fac19759fd524727217d5a2e65584dde

I can disable the 4 "Nvidia High Definition Audio" in the device manager but I still cant hear anything. I really do appreciate you helping me out with this.

2 of them say "Not plugged in". Realtek Digital Output is the default device and is highlighted.Thats the wrong output. The Digital Output is for using the SPDIF port, not the analog outputs. If using a standard 3.5mm TRS connection, you want "Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio Device)" as the default output device.

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?...newest driver 2.70 is there.
I downloaded and installed that but still nothing. I am still trying to figure out how to permanently disable the Nvidia audio drivers though.

^^ You shouldn't have to. I have THREE different audio outputs on my system right now, and they don't conflict at all:
Realtek Onboard
NVIDIA HDMI
ASUS Xonar Xense
If you wanted to kill the NVIDIA audio driver, you need to go to the control panel->programs, uninstall the NVIDIA drivers. You should get an option to uninstall just the audio driver. Again though, thats not the problem.
Realtek Onboard
NVIDIA HDMI
ASUS Xonar Xense

Could my onboard audio be dead?
