Windows 10: Audio jack no longer working, likely since a recent update

The internal speakers are working and bluetooth headphones work, but wired headphones plugged into the audio jack stopped working about a week ago. The laptop doesn't recognize anything when they are plugged in or unplugged.I have run the audio troubleshooter, but this seems to only troubleshoot problems with the internal speakers or sound cardI have uninstalled the Realtek driver and reinstalled itI have tried to update the Realtek driver, but it always says the best driver is already installedI have rolled back my computer to the last restore point Windows Update seems stuck on the upda

Headphone not working in front audio jack

Hi

I had recently updated from windows 8 to windows 10. But I have an issue with the front audio jack. Rear jack works fine. I tried a lot of things but still couldn't solve the problem. I tried things like :-

• Upgrading ; uninstalling and restarting ; etc of the drivers.
• Checking that the internal wires are connected.
• Installing VIA HD AUDIO Driver

My motherboard is Asus P8H61-M LX3 R2.0

It is really very frustrating. Please help me with this.

Thank You

Headphone jack no longer working with Realtek.

When you plug in your Head set the Mic goes in the red lack and the Headphone jack goes in the green jack. This will automatically cut the sound to the speakers. I am talking about the from inputs. The Realtek Audio Console can be downloaded from the store. Below are some images that may help.
