Windows 10: Tried uninstalling audio driver to fix problem, now things aren

I was using my headphones on my computer and they suddenly stopped working, even though it said their volume was on. I tried it on my phone and confirmed that the headphones weren't broken, it was my computer acting up. I followed a guide and it said to uninstall audio drivers, so I did that and now I'm having problems. My headphones don't show up under audio devices and when I plug them in and they have the same volume as my speakers, unlike before when they had their own volume separate from the speakers. What should I do?

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

 

Audio Not Working after numerous fixes...

Hi there J, I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

What I can suggest is DELETE completely all the Audio drivers listed in the device manager.

There should be a small box that you can tick to delete completely the Audio driver.

And make sure you remove all audio devices listed.
