Windows 10: Present input but no output

Why does my laptop detect my earphone's mic but not recognize it as an output?I have already updated everything and checked the settings, but nothing has worked. :

Language keyboard input doesn't equal output

Hi,

Language input may vary depending on the Input method set on your keyboard settings. To sort your concern, we suggest that you check if the desired input is set correctly by following these steps:

• Type in Language and keyboard options on the search box.
• Select the desired language that you're trying to set up.
• Once you've selected the language, select Options.
• Under Keyboards, select Microsoft IME and click
  Options.
• Scroll down and select Open advanced settings.
• A window will pop up. Under General tab, click the drop-down arrow for
  Input method and select the desired input.
• Click OK.

Let us know if you encounter any challenges along the process.

 

no input or output audio devices found

Unfortunately, that did not work. There is something listed under the sound now in the device manager and that says it is functioning, but i still have no sound and it states there are no input and output devices.

 

Develop program in Linux to input and output Windows files?

Great input. Proof that I need to think of myself as a newbie here.

Two questions: 1. What do you mean by "native function/lib" here? 2. what if I have multiple input files or output files? What if my input files are existing Windows files? 3. Actually a third question. Instead of creating a list of programs as input, could I use a regex that defines the folders and the files within that folder? I haven't written any software for too many years because my career went in a different direction. (TL;DR) So I'm happy that I now have the time to write software again, even simple programs.
