  1. Can't hear audio


    When I plug in my headphones' speakers it briefly shows up as Speakers (2-High Definition Audio device) (Translated to English) and then it just disappears and it appears again for a brief moment when I'm pulling the headphones' speaker jack out. Don't know what to search for in Google so I came here.

    Edit: Also I hear little cracking now and then when I plug it in. I noticed that I didn't hear anything when I was on Discord and I couldn't hear the videos so I started putting the volume up and down on the video and started hearing cracking there for the first time and now it just starts randomly cracking and switching around in the Audio settings like the speakers pull down menu which lets you select something like (digital device) that goes blank and goes back then it goes to the Speakers (2-High definition audio device) which is what I'm looking for and then goes to Digital. Same thing with the microphone and I was away for 1 week and now my computer's doing this could this be because I haven't used it in a while as mostly I'd spend a lot of time every day on my computer.

    Edit 2: I should also point out that this started happening after a BSOD.
