Windows 10: Whenever I plug my earphones there is a strong continuous noise

Yesterday I heard a white noise sound using my computer, using youtube which I entered through chrome. Suddenly the earphones stopped working, while the speakers worked well. I switched earphones, but they still hadn't worked.


I restarted my computer, and ever since, whenever I plug in my earphones and enter an app like zoom, groove music, youtube, etc., I hear the sounds of the white noise from yesterday. I entered the task manager and ended the tasks of google chrome, but that hadn't solved it. When I change earphones the sound still appears. When I unplug them and enter the zoom, groove music or youtube using my computer speakers - there is no sound issue, and everything works well.


I tried to open the troubleshooter, which stated there isn't any problem both in the earphones and the speakers.

I tried update the driver of the speakers, but it said I have the latest version.


What else can I do so that I can again use my earphones?

Earphones not working

Recently received my Windows 7 / Samsung Focus phone. All setup and syncing music and even adding NetFlix with no problems. However, when I plug in the earphones...the sound continues to come from the phone speaker. The earphones
do not have any sound output to them. I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue or if there is something that I haven't found yet related to enabling the earphones.

Any Suggestions?

 

Does windows 10 recognize when earphones are plugged in?

Hi Mike,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I would like to inform that Windows 10 does recognize and display a prompt when earphones are plugged in. I would like to ask if you are able to listen to sound from the earphone when plugged in.

I suggest you to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Type “Troubleshooting” on the search bar and press Enter.
• Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
• A pop-up will appear, click on the “Next” button and your hardware troubleshooting will start.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Sound plays through both speakers and earphones

Hi

After the anniversary update of windows 10, I observed static noise in my speakers. So, I uninstalled the audio driver and again installed it from HP site. Now, there's no static noise, although there's occasional crackling noise in my earphones.

The main problem that I face now is that, on connecting my earphones to my laptop, sound continues to play in both speakers and earphones simultaneously... I've tried all the solutions listed in a few other queries here, on the community, but nothing seems
to help..

Please do help me as soon as possible... : (
