and the thing that is the most important in my opinion,motherboard http://imgur.com/a/8Gitz

Also,important thing to note is that I used sound from monitor for a short time,but I installed two new systems since then and data should have been wiped probabbly.

Backup a bit here, what are you talking about installed two new systems since then? As in your re-imaged this computer twice or what? Has this ever worked on this computer? Did it work before you installed the Stereo Mix program? What happens if you uninstall it?

Thanks for answering.

I got a problem on Windows XP and after that I insrtalled Windows 7 (thinking it will solve the problem) and Windows 10 (which I am using now).

I don't even think it is a stereo mix error but I didn't configure it (I just set speakers as my default device,nothing more).

Also,it could be that HDMI malfunctioned it because I think this happened after I started using my monutor which has its own sound and then taking the normal one for which You need speakers.

Your 3.5mm jacks don't rely on HDMI. This is really getting confusing here, you keep adding more info, first it's WIndows 7, then it's WIndows 10 now, you had issues on XP and installed 7 then 10, just all sorts of mess here. "I got a problem on Windows XP and after that I insrtalled Windows 7 (thinking it will solve the problem) and Windows 10 (which I am using now)."

I'd start stop here, remove your hard drive, get a new one, install the version of Windows you want to run on it clean, with new driver setups. See if the jacks work then. Copy your files from the original drive.

I was using Windows XP when I decided to move to other monitor which has its own sound.After that I went back to the one that needs speakers and it didn't work.What I mean is that I unistalled Windows XP thinking it is a system problem and then I moved to Windows 7,but still no sound.After Windows 7 (3 days ago) I started using Windows 10 but that didn't solve my problem neither.

How is hard drive involved in this?I mean isn't it only meant for memory,what does it do with sound (sound is on its own I think).

I am not sure it's a system problem (obviously it's not).I just mentioned it because I wanted to describe problem in detail to make this easier.

I mean it's confusing because You have Your headphones connected and they don't show up (knowing it's not "default device" problem).

The hard drive does not have anything to do with the sound issue, aside from the fact that you'd want to start things clean and using a new drive will make sure you don't delete anything you want to keep by accident.

When you did all the changing operating systems, did you do clean setups or just ran upgrades? Your default sound may just be stuck at HDMI, I've had some funny sound issues when items showed up as disabled, or had to be removed and then re-added, that would not live through clean Windows installations though.

Windows XP to Windows 7 was a clean install.

Windows 7 to Windows 10 was an upgrade.

I have changed my default playback device to Speakers and it shows "not plugged in" even when they are (speakers or headphones,the same thing) and that is the problem.

Did you try both rear and front jacks? You may want to try an external sound card, they are pretty cheap, and disable the onboard audio in the BIOS. If you want something with better quality but still not expensive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N82M64384 for something basic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N6058

First, try the speakers in the back panel, instead of front panel, to verify the speakers work, and the PC recognizes the hardware being plugged in. If they work there, you know the issue is with the front panel jack. If this is the case, the first thing I would do is check for windows updates, and see if it picks up any drivers you need to install.
