Windows 10: Audio won't go through headphones and headphones won't show up in playback devices.

If I plug in my headphones and play audio, I won't hear any audio. I went to playback devices and even after selecting to show disconnected or disabled devices, no headphones will show up. What do I do? I've tried multiple pairs of headphones.

Speakers have sound but headphones do not...

Try this fix if the Windows 10 won’t recognize headphones issue

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click on Hardware and Sound
Select Sound
Under Playback, double click on Default Playback device
Then click on the Advanced tab
And try changing a default sound format from the drop-down menu

 

Volume Mute Light won´t change color

Ouch! All this for one line of missplaced code? I don´t have the skills to do all you suggest. I also discovered a problem with the HTMI Connection (via the DisplayPort and and DP/HTMI adapter). Video is fine on the TV but audio is only on the 6440. When I rh click on the speaker logo and open the box showing the playback devices I see a speaker (green checked) icon, a headphones ("not connected" but green checked when the headphones are plugged in) icon and two (!) TV Icons ( 2-Hi Def Audio device Digital sound (HTMI)), neither one says/shows "connected", even when the HTMI Cable, connected to the TV is plugged into the 6440. When I click on either one I open a box (properties?-translating from the Swedish "egenskaper") that says "activate" (or not) at the bottom but nothing happens when I click "ok". As I see it, when the HTMI cable is plugged in, it should be activated and the speakers muted, just as the headphones are/do when they are plugged in, right? Both say that the device is working properly. My old (I`m 72) head is going nuts trying to figure this out.
