Windows 10: Headphones work only after restart with headphones plugged in

I have an Acer laptop with Windows 10 with Realtek audio driver version 6.0.9309.1. When I plug in my headphones after booting up, the headphones have no sound and the speaker remains on. If I restart after plugging the headphones in, the headphones work fine and the speaker is off. Then if I unplug the headphones, the speaker comes back on and plugging the headphones in again changes nothing -- speaker on, headphones silent. In the sound settings, headphones don't appear in either case. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks for your help

Headphones work only after restart with headphones plugged in

I have a Dell G3 2019 laptop running Windows 10 with Realtek audio driver (the latest). When I plug in my headphones after booting up, the headphones have no sound and the speaker remains on. If I restart
after plugging the headphones in, the headphones work fine and the speaker is off. Then if I unplug the headphones, the speaker comes back on and plugging the headphones in again changes nothing -- speaker on, headphones silent. In the sound settings, headphones
don't appear in either case. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks for your help
