Windows 10: No sound with headphones even after Factory resetting

So about a while ago I pulled my headphones too hard and a little piece got stock in there but I just took it out. And that was that. A couple weeks later my sound wasn't working with my headphones. The speakers and Bluetooth earbuds were fine. I couldn't figure out what to do so I just restarted my PC to fix the problem but that didn't work. I've tried doing some stuff with drivers but that hasn't worked. When I plug in headphones all the sound options just won't work and a x over the volume and the task bar freezes for a bit. I can't go into the sound options in the settings and if I can it's very slow. When I try to adjust the volume it moves once and then doesn't move. Sometimes it works a for a split second when I plug it in but then it doesn't play sound. It's been very frustrating so any help is appreciated If you need anymore information I can provide it. I'm on a amd device btw.

No sound through headphones

Hello Sander,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

I really appreciate all your efforts in trying to fix the issue.

In order to understand the issue more clearly, I would request you to provide me with the following information.

• 
  What is the make and model of the headphones?
  
• 
  Have you tried connecting the headphones to another jack or another computer and checked if they are working?
  

Make sure your headphones aren't plugged into the line out (headphone) jack of your sound card or computer (unless you want to be listening with headphones rather than speakers). When you plug in headphones, most computers
automatically cut the sound to the speakers. Ensure the headphone is fully and firmly inserted into the correct jack. Plug in the headphone and see if the same shows up in Device Manager.

I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:

Run inbuilt Hardware and Device troubleshooter and check if it works. Follow the steps given below.

Note:
If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try using the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to fix the problem. It checks for common issues and makes sure that any new device or
hardware attached to your computer was installed correctly.

• 
  Press Windows Key +R, type
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Type troubleshooting
  in the search bar, click on troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on Hardware and Sound, click on
  Hardware and Devices.
  
• 
  Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.
  

If issue persists, follow method 2.

Method 2:

Check with the volume settings. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

• 
  Right click on the speaker icon in taskbar and select volume control options.
  
• 
  Put a check mark on "All devices currently playing sound".
  
• 
  Make sure you have "The default communication device unchecked".
  
• 
  Place a check mark on both speakers and headphones. Click Apply and OK.
  

If issue persists, follow method 3.

Method 3:

This happens when you have the speakers set to default. We need to set the headphones as default. Please follow the steps given below and check if it helps.

• 
  Perform the task mentioned below to set speakers as default.
  
• 
  Go to Start and click on control Panel.
  
• 
  Click in Sound, then a new window will open up.
  
• 
  In the new windows click on the tab "Playback" and right click in the window and click on Show Disabled devices.
  
• 
  Now check if the headphone is listed there and right click on it and choose enable.
  
• 
  Highlight that headphone and click on "Set as Default".
  

Also try to install latest chipset drivers in the system and check if it helps.

The above steps holds good for Windows 10 as well.

Also, I would suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by

With headphones my audio sounds echo and really bad

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the head phone doesn't work as it should.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

1. What is the make and model of the headphone?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to this issue?
   
3. How is the headphone connected to the PC?
   
4. When you say ‘I've reset multiple times’, are you referring to the Sound settings reset or the complete PC reset?
   

However, let us try these methods and check if that helps.

Method A: Suggest you to try the steps from this article to check if that makes any difference.

Method B: To isolate the issue further, suggest you to follow these steps to check if that helps.

1. On the Playback tab, select the headphone > right click and select properties > Go to advance tab and change the sample rate and test for the issue.
   
2. Uncheck the option ‘Allow applications to take the exclusive control on this device’.

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes.

no sound in headphones

Hi Mary,

If your headphones stops working in Windows devices, you can try solutions below to fix the problem. The issue can be caused by incorrect sound settings, faulty audio drivers, etc. We suggest that you follow below simple instructions to troubleshoot the
problem.

• Check if the sound is muted. If it is muted, the headphone won’t have sound.
• Check the connection. Try unplugging the headphone and firmly plug it back in.
• Check the port. If you are using a USB headphone, try a different USB port.
• Try the headphone on another computer. Use your headphone on another computer. If it doesn’t work on that computer, the headphone might be broken. In that case, you need to replace it with a new one.

We're just here if you have further questions.

Regards.
