Windows 10: Headphones don't work after being unplugged and reinserted.

Hi everyone. I'm Ray, I've just joined the forum. I have recently bought a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 15 1553) which uses Windows 10. I don't know what I've done and I'm sure my headphones worked ok when I first used them. The problem is that I can get them to work by doing a WIN FIX using my ASC Ultimate13.2 software and then restarting the laptop. If I then unplug the headphones and plug them back in again the system does not recognise them (stating that the headphones are unplugged). The sound comes through the laptop speakers. The good news is I can fix it by doing a WIN FIX and restart. But as said if I then unplug the headphones and reinsert them they don't work. It's a bit of a pain having to do a fix each time and I know this can't be right. I've tried updating drivers to no avail, It says I have the latest driver. So I am asking if anyone else has had this problem and managed to fix it permanently. Hope someone can help.

:)

 

Speakers and headphones work at the same time

Hi.

Let us isolate your concern by answering these few questions.

• Have you tried connecting your headphones directly to your desktop?
• Does your speaker work normally when connected to your desktop?

You may try the following steps to help resolve your concern:

• Unplug or Disconnect your speaker from the desktop.
• Connect your headphone directly to the desktop.

If the headphone works properly when directly connected to the desktop, we suggest that you contact your speaker manufacturer for assistance.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Extremely bizarre issue where headphones don't work after being unplugged and plugged back in

I was going through your suggestions, until I got to this part. When I got to step 16 on that list (create a new admin user account and see if the problem persists in that account), I tried that suggestion and created a test account. At first, when I plugged
in my headphones they weren't working (same as my original problem). But then when I unplugged them a Windows notification message popped up in the bottom right, saying something along the lines of "an audio device was disconnected". I plugged my headphones
back in and got the same kind of windows popup asking what type of device I just plugged in, and I selected the headphone option. After that, the headphones worked fine even when unplugged and plugged back in. Unfortunately, they are only working fine in that
alternate user account, and not in my normal one.

So I guess that means that the problem lies somewhere in my account settings, but how on earth do I fix it?
