Headphones Not Detected

Wasn't sure what topic to put this under.

Windows 10 refuses to detect my headphones from my headset. The mic is fine. The computer even recognizes when I plug the headphones of the headset in. But it refuses to detect them. I can go into my Sound in Control Panel all day, and there will NEVER be any
headphones in that list. So, no, I cannot click headphones, just making that clear before someone suggests clicking on headphones.

How do I force Windows 10 to detect the headphones that I have plugged in, so that they will work? The jack is working fine. When I plug them in it gives me the pop-up letting me know that I plugged something into the jack. But that's the end of it. It will
not detect the headphones. Nothing comes out of them. There are no headphones in the Sound list. There is nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Why does it register something is plugged in and then refuse to detect it?

Someone please figure out why Windows 10 simply cannot detect headphones and help me fix this so I can use my headset.

Headphones are not detected when plugged in

Hello, I have a Dell laptop and it's on windows 10.

This did not use to be a problem before but recently whenever i plug in my earphones, it is not detected and therefore does not work and the sound just comes out of speakers.

I have tried going to Control panel > hardware and sound > sound to check if the headphones are detected at all and they are not. I also made sure that the disabled and disconnected devices are both ticked.

I have tried plugging in other headphones as well and that did not work.

I have downloaded Driver Easy and updated all the drivers and checked if there are any updates. Still not working.

I really don't know what to do now.

please help.
