Windows 10: Sound coming only through left side of earphones/headphones BUT ONLY while connected to the...

Title says all. Any earphone or headphone which I plug into my laptop is only delivering sound through one side (the left). The same earphones or headphones are working perfectly on other devices. Also, they're not being detected by the laptop as used to be case but I'm getting output through the one side.

I've tried every software fix I could think of -

1. Changing and fixing all sound settings
2. Updating my Realtek drivers, uninstalling them and reinstalling, then restarting the laptop
3. Troubleshooting audio problems

But to no avail. The problems still persist - A. None of my earphones or headphones are being detected by the laptop (when till yesterday they used to be detected) and B. Sound is only coming through one side, the left, despite the earphones/headphones not being detected.

Some friends of mine suggested it might be a jack problem and I'll have to replace/repair it. If this is truly the case, then my question would be why all of a sudden? They were working perfectly fine yesterday and have been working perfectly fine since I bought this laptop (a year back).

I'm considering replacing/repairing the jack as the final resort as there is a lockdown in my area and it is quite a hassle to go out and do all this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is an issue that requires an urgent fix. \

Thanks.

Headphone, earphone and microphone are not in Sound Control Panel.

Windows 10 64 bit








Stereo mix and line & mic at front or rear panel don't work too.

I somehow managed to get my headphone to play the same thing as my speaker at the same time but that's as far as i got.

 

NO SOUND ON HEADPHONES/ EARPHONES AFTER WINDOWS 10 UPDATE

Hi

I am not getting sound on my external sound devices such as headphones, earphones or any external sound devices. Surprisingly the laptop has sound when not connected to any external sound output accessory which suggests the drivers are working fine. Not
sure if there is updates available on the external sound output ports.

 

Headphones/Earphones aren't detected

My laptop can't seem to detect earphones/headphones, and I'm using the Windows 10 on a Asus X4414. I've tried to plug and unplug, restart the laptop, update the audio drivers, look for the headphones in the 'disabled devices' area in the Playback of the
Sound System, tried the Troubleshooting, even disabling and enabling the audio drivers, but all to no avail. Sometimes audio would come out of both speakers and headphones (but it's still not in the audio system's playback list), and most times audio doesn't
come out of the headphones/earphones at all and just have the speakers blare out audio, even though my laptop seems to 'detect' it somewhat by saying that a device was plugged in, but it would never show up in the Sound System at all. However, at rare moments,
it would suddenly work, but even when it does, the Sound System's Playback tab couldn't detect it, so it's not in the list at all. After unplugging the earphone when it does
work, I tried to plug it back in to check just in case if it's alright now, but then the same problem would ensure, which would be no audio coming out of my headphones and have the internal speakers play the audio instead. My earphone works just fine in
other devices, and is fairly important for college-related tasks, so this is quite troubling. If anybody's ever faced the same problem and found a solution, I'd be really grateful to hear about it.
