Windows 10: My computer seems to be confusing the front and back audio jacks.

Hi, I have 35mm jacks on the rear and front of my PC. My speakers are plugged into the rear jack and seem to work fine. However if I plug headphones into the front jack sound only plays from the left side. The troubleshooter doesn't pick anything up. Checking the settings it looks as if the computer has confused the two jacks and, when both are plugged in, it doesn't recognise the headphones as another output and it tries to send the right side out of the speakers instead of the headphones. I haven't been able to find a way to fix this, has anyone else come across this before?This is the setti

Computer's Audio Jacks Stopped Working

The audio jacks stopped working and it is not a hardware problem.

1. Multiple headsets do not get audio output from both of the audio jacks on the computer and the headsets are confirmed to be working, so it's the computer's problem.
2. The audio output through a DisplayPort monitor's audio jack and monitors' speakers still work, so the computer can still produce audio. The monitor's audio jack is not an option.
3. Both audio jacks stopped working at the same time despite only one being in use, so it's not hardware.

What is the problem and what is the solution?

Hi Calvin,

Please go to the settings app on your PC and click update and security. Click Troubleshooting, and find the one that says "Playing Audio". It should detect the problem.
