Windows 10: Audio on my 3.5mm jack headset worked fine earlier, restarted PC, now sound only comes out...

so basically what i'm dealing with is, i have a Sennheiser game one set of headphones, it plug in with the 3.5mm audio jack and the microphone input jack on the back of my MOBO, earlier today both the headset and microphone were working perfectly fine, but for some reason when i came back sound would only play from my monitor but yet my microphone is still fine, my audio device is set to realteck [R] Audio, this is the device that normally plays out of my headset but now plays out of my monitor. ive tried messing with the drivers making sure there all installed and up to date and they are. i'm at a loss, this happened to me a few weeks prior and i just wiped the PC and when it reinstalled windows everything was fine, i do not want to wipe my PC again to fix the issue, hoping somebody out there had the same problem and found a fix. I'll try anything at this point

Laptop with sound with only 1 3.5mm jack

Just to clarify:

You want to connect a microphone and speakers to the single 3.5mm jack on your PC. However, when you use the splitter that came with your headset, the speaker volume is low because your sound driver thinks you've connected a headset. Or do you want to connect a headset and speakers to the jack simultaneously?

I'm guessing you have a laptop. What model do you have? Your driver may have a setting to tell it what is actually connected.

Laptop with sound with only 1 3.5mm jack

I want to connect headphones with microphone (two 3.5mm cables, 1 for audio out and 1 for microphone) in to a single audio hole to the laptop using a splitter. I also want to connect speakers together aswell. I'm using 3.5mm jack to 2 3.5mm jacks splitter x 2. So i have 4 outputs to connect devices to. But the problems came by.
