Windows 10: Dolby Audio not recognizing Headphones

I purchased a laptop that came with the Dolby Software. before i was able to connect my headphones and a "Headphone mode" would basically show up on the software so i can get a lot better quality with stronger bass, recently it completely stopped recognizing my headphones and am stuck with the regular dolby made for speakers.

Notes:
- My headphones connect to the Audio jacks
- I cannot open the Realtek audio manager to enable/disable the headphone jack detection

- I have Windows 10 (came installed in the laptop)

- The drivers for Audio installed are provided by the Product support, and are up to date.

- I am using the same headphones before and after i had the problem

Dolby audio only with wire headphones?

Is there a way that I can use Dolby Audio settings in my bluetooth headphones? I receive a message that can only be used with wire headphones... thanks for your reply folks!

 

Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio

Hi Polaris,

We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

I understand that you are able to use the Dolby Digital plus Advanced Audio and not able to use the Dolby Advanced Audio.

As you get the error “Unable to start the Dolby Audio Driver. Restart the computer or reinstall the driver”, this error might occur if the driver is not installed properly or it is not up to date. I suggest you install the
Dolby audio drivers. Refer to the following article to update all the drivers available in Windows 10.

How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows
10



As the both Dolby Digital plus Advanced Audio and Dolby Advanced Audio are listed under the programs and features, you may uninstall the Dolby Advanced Audio through Programs and features.

• 
  Press Windows + X keys on the keyboard, select
  Programs and features.
  
• 
  Right click on the Dolby Advanced Audio and click on
  Uninstall.
  
• 
  Click on OK if any window prompts.
  

After uninstalling the Dolby Advanced Audio, you may reinstall it again through the setup file (If you have) or from the Dolby support.
I suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by
Santosh_Rai on October 15, 2015 in the below thread and check if it helps you to install the
Dolby Advanced Audio drivers.

Dolby Advanced Audio v2 Error (Windows 10)

Note:
Please be informed that it is your wish to use the both “Dolby Advanced Audio” and “Dolby Digital plus Advanced Audio” or any one of the audio as per your requirement.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio

I upgraded to Windows 10. On the Control Panel, both Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio are listed.

Neither one is listed in Device Manager. When I click on Dolby Advanced Audio, It says, "Unable to start the Dolby Audio Driver. Restart the computer or reinstall the driver". Clicking on Dolby Digital Plus Advanced Audio the app opens. Do I really need both?
Both are listed on Programs and Features.
