How to disable front panel audio detection in dell audio?
I have a jammed audio jack in my PC's front panel causing my computer to think there's an audio device connected to my front panel. As an attempt to fix this i connected my new headphones to my rear audio jack and went into Dell audio to disable front panel audio detection to find out that i can't even find the setting for that. Please help, my computer is a Dell Inspiron 3646.

You could try disconnecting the front panel audio connector, #14 on page 11, here.
BUT... you may start getting an error message when you try to boot because that connector is disconnected.
Have you tried spraying a little electrical contact cleaner around the stuck plug, and into the front audio port, to see if you can lube the plug enough to pull it out? Always power off, unplug and press/hold power button for ~15 sec before trying something like this.
And be careful, some of those cleaners may mar plastic surfaces so read the instructions thoroughly and wipe up any drips immediately. You do this entirely at your own risk! :Wink:

There is a way to use super glue and a plastic piece to get it out.
