Windows 10: My earphone is plugged in but the sound is coming from the speaker

My earphone is plugged in but the sound is coming from the speaker. I tried restarting my PC but still nothing changes. If I plug my earphones half way in then I can hear the sound from the earphones but sometimes the sounds still come from the speakers. I'm not using any other audio drivers other than Realtek. What should I do?

Windows 10: No Sound coming out of earphones (only speakers work)

It's a laptop (dual booting Win10[recently upgraded from win7 64bit] and Elementary OS Freya)

It's nothing to do with hardware issues

Earphones worked fine on my Elementary OS so my audio jack is definitely not broken or anything like that. Earphones work on my phone as well so i'm quite positive it's to do with windows 10 only.

No sound coming out of earphones

There's no sound coming out of the earphones, and I'm sure it's nothing to do with them because they work fine when I plug them into my phone. Also, I've tried another pair of earphones which resulted the same. However, the sound works perfectly without the earphones plugged into my laptop, the speakers are fine.

unsure if it's to do with drivers

I've tried uninstalling the Realtek HD audio drivers, reinstalling and nothing works.

However, I have Windows 10 but could only find drivers for Windows 7/8

settings

I've googled a bit and most would suggest something like checking the playback devices but the only one on my list is 'Speakers'.

Realtek detected my earphones

When I plug in my earphones, Realtek detected them and even popped up the notification saying 'you just plugged a device into the audio jack'

as shown in the picture, when i toggle my mouse onto the black circle, it clearly detected something was plugged in, but somehow audio just won't play through my earphones.

 

Audio coming simultaneously from earphone and speakers when earphone is plugged

Audio in my laptop is coming from speaker as well as earphone at the same time when earphone is plugged. Please tell me how to fix this.

 

No sound coming out of earphones (ONLY speakers work)

Funny, I have the exact OPPOSITE problem right now after doing a clean install of Windows 10. No sound from laptop speakers, only head phones ...
