Windows 10: Sound stops working after a few minutes

Hi, I am having trouble with my laptops speakers. The sound just stopped working out of the blue. Its not physical damage and I have updated, rolled back, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and watched many many youtube tutorials but nothing seems to work. Sometimes when i turn my laptop on, the sound will work for a minute or two and then stop. But if I use bluetooth headphones, it works fine, I am running windows 11. All the drivers "are working properly"Please help.

Sound stops working in headphones every 2 minutes

I have a very weird problem. I have my headphones plugged into the jack in the front of my computer. The sound works fine when I first plug them in, then after a couple of minutes, the sound stops working.

Now when I unplug and plug the headphones back in, the sound works again. Then, after a couple minutes the sound stops working again. So I unplug and plug them back in.

This only happens with headphones and I've been able to replicate the issue using different headphones. It does not happen with my speakers.

I went into sound devices and the headphones are still set as the default when the sound stops working. It is very odd.

Why is this happening? If it was the jack then wouldn't the sound just not work at all? I am using Windows 10.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
