Windows 10: Unplugged Audio Drivers, and Audio Problems

Hello, I have been updating my laptop's drivers using Driver Easy (free vers.) and it says that two of my audio drivers are Unplugged and i cannot install an update to them until they are plugged in again. I would like to know where I can find the Drivers in Device Manager (if applicable) and/or why it states that they are "Unplugged" even though the only things i have plugged into it are my external drives and headphones.


My system Info:
> Asus ROG FX553VE, 64-Bit Windows 10

The Drivers in question are:
-(Unplugged) Intel(R) Display Audio
-(Unplugged) Realtek High Definition Audio


Also, for some reason, neither Windows nor Realtek automatically recognizes my headphones when I plug it in the audio jack. I need to manually go to Realtek Audio Manager and click on the analog button. Is there a way to fix this as well, if not directly related to the previous problem?

:)

Audio device unplugged

I was in the middle of watching movie when suddenly my sound stopped to come showing no audio device found. I went to the device manager and not found any driver tab for sound there. I tried reinstalling the driver but it did not work. On deep searching,
I figuered out that my audio device has been unplugged. It's drivers are shown in unplugged drivers zone.

I searched the internet for this problem but did not get any solution for this. Any help regarding this will be appreciated.
