Windows 10: Two Front and back audio Jack not working. Realtek won't install

A couple days ago I turned on my computer to find my headphones weren't plugged in. So I went to device manager and updated realtek, but it was on the latest driver. So i decided I wanted to uninstall and reinstall it, after Uninstalling it I couldn't reinstall the program. So I downloaded the audio codecs and that also didn't work. When I open up the realtek audio manager setup nothing happens. So i rebooted my system multiple times and nothing is working PLEASE HELP.

Realtek Audio Headphone Jack Issue





The SONY: SRS-X2 listed is a Bluetooth speaker that I have been using in place of the laptop speakers, which generally works fine. I think it's also worth it to note that the Speakers listed here don't change when I actually plug headphones into the laptop.

The Realtek software installed is listed as Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, from Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 6.0.1.7548, installed 10/29/2017.

The problem is that audio is no longer coming out of the laptop speakers. Previously, whenever headphones were plugged into or taken out of the jack on the laptop, Realtek would send a notification saying that something had been plugged in or out. However,
I have not gotten either of those messages since the problem with the speakers started, so it was my assumption that the laptop simply believes that there is something still plugged into the headphone jack that has never been taken out.

The headphones that I use work perfectly fine, and I can get audio from the laptop if I just plug headphones it, however I don't get the notification that I used to.

I followed all the instructions on the Windows 10 checklist, and I did the Fresh Start that was walked through on the other website, however none of this fixed the issue.

On an additional note, downloading the Realtek software listed on the Lenovo site did actually help by fixing a separate issue I was having with my Bluetooth, so I do want to thank you for that as I now have a workable alternative to the laptop speakers
if it turns out that there's just nothing to fix them.

 

Windows 10 & Realtek HD Audio and Headphone jack not working

I have two different PCs that when installing the Realtek HD Audio driver the headphone jack stops working. If I uninstall the Realtek HD Audio driver everything working but then Windows Update re-installs the driver again and again. How can I fix this
issue? I don't want to turn off all auto updates. Thanks.
