    Every time I plug in headphones, I get a pop up box asking "which device did you plug in?" Is there a way to disable this?

    A little more info would help. Are you plugging in to your Sound card? Front comp RCA/headphone connector?

    You may not have "RealTech" as your audio manager. Try checking in your "SYSTEM" to see what your audio manager is.

    Very sorry, I can see by your info that you do have "Realtech" audio. Will try to find another answer for you, if possible.

    Perhaps you need to uninstall "Magicandre1981"

    Is your external HDD plugged in all the time? Try your headphones without the external drive if possible.

    Still not doing the trick... The program that's doing this is "Waves Maxx Audio Pro". Do you think if I disable that, that'll stop it?

    Are you able to hear sounds through through your headphones(music, game sounds etc.) It you can. Have you tried going into the Notification Area and selecting Hide Icon and notifications.

    From my link, did you ascertain what type of plug you have on your headphone cable?

    My cheaper headphones are 2-rings. My Bose noise cancelling headphones are the 3-rings

    Whenever I insert either of my headphones in, that annoying box will pop up and I won't hear sound until I click "OK"

    Maybe it'll just be easiest to uninstall Waves MaxxAudio Pro altogether?

    Yes. An uninstall and comp reboot - check - OK. Re-install and test again.

    I couldn't find a way to uninstall it. But I went to "services", disabled Waves Audio Service and rebooted. No more annoying pop-up when I plug in the headphones. Thank you all for your responses.
