Is audio jack re-tasking still a thing?

[danielcwr]

This might sound like a stupid question, but realtek is driving me insane...

 

Is it still possible to re-task rear audio jacks, ie, can i change my rear speaker out port to a headphone port instead using software?

Motherboard - Asrock Aqua x570

 

On my old motherboard, (2013, sadly forgot the name but it was MSI) I remember that realtek looked like this: With this realtek executable I could do tons of stuff, including re-task the rear ports.

 

 

On my new motherboard, I don't even get a standalone executable, but instead get a shitty built in windows one riddled with minor errors and confusing sub-menus. You may notice that it says connector retasking in the image below, but the re tasking is limited to "line in" only. basically useless. 

 

All in all, I would really like to know if anyone has been able to meaningfully re task their ports on an As-rock board, and if so, please enlighten me as to how!

 

Side note: Following the instructions on this website: https://www.reaper-x.com/2012/02/13/how-to-remap-retasking-realtek-onboard-jacks-ports/

I have tried changing the binary values of the ports in the registry editor, but changing those values had no effect.

Yes but various cards/chipsets have various capabilities, some more limited than others.

 

Connecting headphones to speaker out normally works just fine without having to reconfigure anything.
