Windows 10: emulate hot plug and unplug headset in windows OS 10

I want to emulate hotplug and unplug headset scenario for automation purpose ,

I want a solution something like below ,

• Keep headset connected always to the computer .
• Whenever we want to unplug the headset ,use some windows commands/utility/ etcthat will remove the headset endpoint in windows system even though headset is physically still connected to computer
• Whenever we want to plug the headset , ,use some windows commands/utility/ etc that will make the headset endpoint available in windows system again

So this way we can simulate plug and unplug without physically plugging and unplugging headset every time .Is this possible from OS side .

How is the detection of plug is known to OS ?Thanks for any help ?

Switch back to speakers not working after unplugging my headset

Hello,

Can someone explain me how is this still possible with a recent OS (Windows 10)?

Issue:

Step 1: I plug my heasdset -> the sound is switched correctly from the speakers to my headset.

Step 2: I set my computer to sleep mode.

Step 3: I unplug my headset.

Step 4: I wake up my computer. (my headset is not plugged anymore)

Result:

I have no more sound without headset, the sound output is stuck to the jack plug.

Apparently, Windows 10 doesn't check the status of the different I/Os when getting out of sleep mode. (I hope there is another reason, but if this is the case, it is a shame)

So, how do I get my speakers working again, without restarting my computer, please?

Thanks for your help.

 

Windows 10 unable to play sound from USB headset after unplugged and plugged back in

I have a Corsair USB headset, it works fine with all of my USB ports and had no problems when I was using Windows 7. Problem started to occur after I upgraded to Windows 10. It will work fine when I first plug my headset in, but after I unplug it and then
plug the headset back in later it won't play sound or even let me speak out of my mic on the headset. I've checked in the playback devices and recording, Win 10 will know its there and plugged in but is unable to play any tone. I can plug the headset into
another USB port and it will work again but if I unplug it and plug it back in the same port I just plugged in it will have the same problem. Right now the only way for my headset to be "recognized" and able to work I have to either restart my pc or reinstall
the headset device driver.

 

Thunderbolt 2.0 hot plug problems Windows 10

TL;DR:

For some reason hot plugging my Thunderbolt dock is not working correctly on my new laptop. I am trying to determine if I've overlooked a troubleshooting step.

Problem:

If the dock is unplugged after the system has already booted then my USB devices (mouse & keyboard) will not reconnect when the dock is reconnected. Thunderbolt monitor reconnects, but not USB. No power is provided to the keyboard or mouse - keyboard lights do not illuminate & optical sensor on the mouse stays dark. This is resolved with a reboot, but the problem persists.

Hardware / Software:

• Dell Precision M3800
  
• BIOS A09 (previously upgraded to A10 before motherboard replacement)
  
• Windows 10 (direct upgrade from Windows 7 64 Bit Professional )
  
• Belkin Thunderbolt 2 Express Dock HD
  
• Thunderbolt (TM) Controller - 157D
  
  • Device manager hardware ID "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_157D&SUBSYS_11112222&REV_00"
    
  • This is an Intel hardware ID (fitting as Intel makes Thunderbolt)
    
• GRUB bootloader
  
  • Kali Linux on second hard drive partition
    

Attempted fixes: (None of these solved the problem)

• All Intel Chipset drivers reinstalled from Dell's website via their tech support's recommendation
  
• Driver update on Thunderbolt controller yields "Software for your device is up to date"
  
• "Fresco logic USB3.0 host controller" reinstalled
  
• Upgraded original OS from Windows 7 to Windows 10
  
• Upgraded system BIOS from A09 to A10
  
• Had Belkin directly replace the docking station with a new one
  
• Had Dell directly replace the system motherboard
  
  • The new board has the A09 BIOS
    
• Stopped and started Thunderbolt (TM) service
  
• Booted into Safe mode
  
  • Thunderbolt works on boot but the thunderbolt service cannot run in safe mode
    
  • Hot plugging fails to work correctly in safe mode
    
• All Thunderbolt devices involved have been authorized in the "Thunderbolt TM Software" and set to "Always Connect"
  

Other Notes:

• An identical Precision M3800 and Belkin dock were ordered at the same time as my own
  
  • This other laptop does not have the same problems mine does with hot plugging
    
  • This other "working" laptop has been used with both docks w/o problems hot plugging
    
  • The "non-working" laptop has the same problems hot plugging with both docks
    
  • The working laptop has Windows 10 loaded onto it - it was also upgraded from x64 7 Pro
    
  • The working laptop does not have GRUB or a second OS installed
    
• Cannot locate drivers for the "Thunderbolt 157D controller" on Intel's website.
  
  • It is possible that this is a rebadged controller they are already manufacturing; complete dearth of information.
    

Last Thoughts:

• Is there anything obvious I am overlooking?
  
• Is there some problem with hot plugging when GRUB is installed or a second OS is on a system?
  
• Are there any pieces of system software that typically interfere with hot plugging thunderbolt devices?
  
• With this description would a fresh OS reinstall likely fix the issue?
  

Apologies for the length of this post; thus far commercial tech support has been limited and time consuming. I am hopeful that someone in the community may already be familiar with this issue.
