Windows 10: I recently updated, and now all audio plays through the speakers no matter what

I updated my Surface Laptop (first gen) a couple days ago, and since then I can't use headphones anymore. I've tried plugging in different headphones, but it still plays through the speakers. I've gone through all the audio settings I can find and they're all set to what they're supposed to be. What do I do? This is really problematic since I have homeschool right now and playing calls through speakers is not ideal. I've tried the feedback given to people with the same issue but nothing seems to work.

Audio driver conflict is one of the possible causes of this audio issue that you're experiencing. To properly troubleshoot the issue, kindly verify the following:

• Any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue, such as installing a specific update?
• Have you already tried checking your speaker connections for loose cables or wrong jack?

• Have you also tried connecting your external speaker to another computer or connecting other speakers to your computer?
  
• What other troubleshooting steps you've tried?

We look forward to your reply.

Speakers not detected as plugged in and quit playing audio, but initially play sound

Relevant Specs are:

Windows 10 x64

Audio run through Realtek audio HD manager

MSI z170m Mortar Motherboard

Logitech Multimedia Speakers Z200/ rear panel audio

Logitech G933 headset/ usb bluetooth

I'm encountering a problem with a pair of Logitech speakers that I recently purchased. The speakers will not play audio, even though they are on and operational. I know they are operational because when I restart my computer they initially play sound, but
will cut off soon after. If I don't immediately play audio, the speakers will not play sound later. My Logitech headset is fully connected and plays audio perfectly with no problems. At times the Logitech speakers will continue to play audio for no apparent
reason. In playback devices the Logitech speakers are not listed as plugged in. It shows nothing is connected to the rear audio panel.

I believe the problem originates with the Realtek HD audio. If I start the Realtek HD audio manager I get a pop-up saying that a device has been unplugged. I have googled this problem and see many similar issues but none of the common solutions have fixed this.

-Realtek audio drivers are fully updated, Logitech drivers are fully updated, Windows 10 is fully updated.

-In the Realtek audio manager, I have disabled front panel detection, but the front panel still shows something plugged in(nothing is)

-In the Realtek audio manager I have tried changing the various settings such as separating all inputs as independent audio sources, nothing changes.

-My MOBO has an s/pdif optical port on the rear panel audio, nothing is plugged into it but in Sound playback devices it still lists the port and Realtek Digital Output as ready

-I have enabled or disabled all audio devices, nothing changes

-Unplugging and disabling my Logitech headset does not suddenly connect the Logitech speakers

Looking for anyone else who has this problem but is unable to fix it.
