  1. 3.5 mm audio jack is not working


    I'm using a Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows 10 Home

    Recently my laptop has stopped outputting sound through it's built in 3.5 mm audio jack. This is normally not a huge deal, as I can just use its bluetooth to connect to my headphones instead. I would, however, like to still use my 3.5 mm when my headphones run low on their battery. I would go to plug my headphones in and nothing happens. I have checked the headphones and the cord connected to them on another device. I have looked inside the jack and found no visible dust or debris. I blew out the jack just to be sure. I then looked under my sound settings and could find no device through my 3.5 mm. I used to get a popup when I plugged something into my 3.5 mm that would let me select what the jack was being used for, but now nothing happens. I went into my troubleshooter and it says that there is no jack information available.

    I then went into my device manager to see if there was some sort of driver update or something. I couldn't find 3.5 mm under audio inputs and outputs, or under sound, video, and game controllers.

    Would the driver be located under a different location?

    Am I an idiot?

    My laptop definitely has a built in 3.5 mm jack that worked in the past just fine. How can I fix it?

    Thanks!

    :)

  4. 3.5 mm audio jack is not working

    3.5 Headphone jack is missing

    Im using a Toshiba Sattilite L755D-s7132 laptop running Windows 10. I have been putting my sound through my home theater system via the 3.5 headphone jack as an output. This config. had been working fine for about a year now. Last week I added a pair of
    Bluetooth headphones (Ausdom M06) and the 3.5 jack vanished from my list of available audio devices. Now as a headphone option the system only lists the Btooth and when I plug in the 3.5 jack the computer doesn't see it, in fact it says it's unplugged. I've
    reinstalled my audio driver(RealTech), lookd in every setting I could find and of course checked windows update. HELP! I can't seem to track this down. Does anybody have an idea or have had the same(similar) issue of what this could be?
