Windows 10: My PC says that my audio devices aren't plugged in even though they clearly are. Is it a...

Hello, I've been having some troubles with audio problems since a few days ago with my PC Windows 10 since it cant detect the green 3.5mm jack. I was doing some work while listening to some music when suddenly the audio got cut off. When I checked my Sound settings, my Headphones/Speaker went missing. I also Checked the playback devices and it said that my Speakers and/or Headphones were "not plugged in". When I first had this issue, I was using Realtek Audio Mana

:)

 

Windows says there is no audio device plugged in.

Hey guys,

I have 2 Drivers installed, the Realtek audio driver and the AMD Radeon audio driver. For some reason, Windows says that I currently have no audio devices plugged to the computer, however, I have my headphones and my speaker system plugged in via front port
and back port on the computer.

Is there any fix to this issue?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

 

Rear audio ports always show as “Not plugged in”


I've been having this issue with Windows for about a week now which NONE of the back panel/front panel connectors (speakers, microphone) are being recognized by Realtek audio manager. The only audio input/outputs that are showing are the optical.
Troubling shooting steps I've tried (none worked):

• COMPLETELY uninstall all Realtek drivers/reinstall
  
• Tried using windows drivers
  
• Reinstall Windows 10
  
• Upgraded chipset driver
  
• sfc /scannow

I called EVGA and asked for RMA but then I booted into a Ubuntu OS and all the ports work FINE. It must be a problem with windows 10.
Can you think of any other troubling shooting step I can try to fix this annoying issue? Thanks!

After looking in Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs, I don't see any speaker/microphone listings, only the optical crap:

 

Numerous audio devices - why?

Looks like you have audio drivers installed for your AMD card. If you don't use it, you should be able to just uninstall that aspect of AMD drivers. I don't use the Audio through my Nvidia card, so I just don't install that driver.

Or, just ignore them as you suggest.
