Windows 10: headphone stopped working when I replugged it.

The headphone icon in the manage audio device didn't show up again after I replugged the headphone.It only works when I restart the system, and the headphone icon showed up in the taskbar, but when I plugged it out and replugged it again it stops showing up and stop working.I don't know whether this is a driver problem or something else. Since I had checked the headphone and the line. Also I had checked the port. I had also tried some way to fix this on YouTube, but all of them don't work at all.BTW, I am using a Dell Inspiron 7610 16 inches plus.Thanks

When I unplug and then replug my headphones, Windows doesn't detect them

Every time my headphones disconnect and I try to replug them, Windows doesn't detect it and I have to reboot my computer, and it's really annoying.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Headphone stops working randomly.

Hi,

As per the description, the issue might be caused due to damage in the port. I suggest you to connect another headphone and check if the same issue persists. This is to check if the issue is with the hardware.

I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps provided below:

• Type troubleshooting in the Search box and press Enter.
• Click on View All in the left navigation pane.
• Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the on-screen prompts for troubleshooting.

Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
