    Headphone Jack not working or being detected


    My headphone jack stopped working after the last windows 10 update. When I plug in my headphones (known good) or a line out nothing happens. I know my computer used to detect the headphone jack and switch from built in speakers to the jack but now it does not detect anything. There is a red light in the port I can visually see but nothing works. I have unistalled drivers, reverted drivers, and updated drives with no luck. I have tried every suggestion I could find on this issue to no avail. It seems that nothing detects the jack and keeps my speakers running. Here are my computer specs and some related images.

    Front panel jack doesn't detect Headphones

    Hi,

    In the previous versions of Windows, this feature is auto detected. To better assist you, please answer the questions below:

    • Have you tried connecting a different headphones to the front panel jack?
    • Did the PC detect the headphones when it was connected at the back panel jack?
    • Did you encounter an error message, when the headphones are connected to front panel jack?

    We'll keep an eye out for your reply.
