Windows 10: Double audio output

My laptop uses windows 10, maybe 11, and after years of using it a problem came out of nowhere.If you look at the side of my laptop there are 2 3.5 mm female ports. 1 for microphone, and the other for headphones. I have no clue what happened but even though they were built to be one of each now they both function as places to plug in headphones and other audio outputs and it wont work for any of my microphones. Ive even tried to use headphones that only need one plug for both the headphones and microphone but nothing works and im left with the horribly glitchy built in microphone. Ive googled

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.
