Headphone jack not working

Hi Jonathan,

Issues with headphones or headphone jack could have happened due to hardware issues. To isolate your concern, we suggest that you update your driver. You can follow this
link for the steps on how to update drivers in Windows 10.

If the issue still occurs, we suggest that you contact your manufacturer to check and troubleshoot your hardware issue with headphone jack.

Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

 

Headphone jack not working

Hi Kan I'm Peter an independent advisor, it's good to see you troubleshooting the issue which helps. In device manager see if it's possible to rollback the audio driver just incase windows updates put a later one on which is causing the issue. If not run
Windows updates to see if there is an audio driver update available. As for the problem you had with the realtek drivers what model and make laptop do you have...did you download from the manufacturer website? I'd also test your earbuds in another device to
rule out the earbuds. Also test another pair of headphones or speakers to rule out whether the issue is just with that pair of headphones. Check Sound in control panel to make sure your headphones are set as the default ones, not the internal speakers first.
If other headphones don't work, or your earbuds work in other devices fine it could be a fault with the stereo jack port itself

 

Playback through headphones in jack on Windows 10 not working

Currently, on my Windows 10 PC I have the following strange behavior: my speakers and my USB headphones both will play sound fine, but my headphones in the headphone jack do not play sound. Additionally, my headphones are not listed under playback devices when they are plugged in.

What I have tried so far:

1. Restarting Computer
   
2. Double-checking volume mixer to make sure I did not accidentally mute my computer
   
3. Right-clicking sound icon and following all steps in “Troubleshoot Sound Problems” and restarting
   
4. Troubleshoot Settings → additional troubleshooters → playing audio and following all the steps
   
5. Going to Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers and uninstalling either Realtek Audio Device or High Definition Audio Device and restarting
   
6. Going to Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers and selecting “update driver” on High Definition Audio Device
   
7. Updating OS
   
8. Downloading drivers from the manufacturer of my computer and restarting
   
9. Going to Realtek Audio Console → Device Advanced Settings → toggling “Disable front panel jack detection” on and off and testing
   

Edit: The headphones work when plugged in to another Windows 10 PC and plugging in different headphones to my headphone jack did not seem to fix the issue.

Edit 2: When I put my headphones in the jack, sound stops coming through the speakers. When I installed a different driver (the one installed by the sound troubleshooter, not the one from the computer manufacturer), my headphones appeared in the list of devices, but no sound comes out.

Does anyone have any suggestions of anything else I could try? Any help or tips are very much appreciated.
