Windows 10: Windows 11 does not detect wired earphones

My earphones randomly stopped working, or so i thought because they work just fine on other devices. I tried using a different functioning pair of earphones on my laptop and that didnt work either so its definitely the laptop thats the problem. I updated, uninstalled and reinstalled the necessary drivers and yet it still didnt change a thing. In my sound devices it says headphones not plugged into audio jack even when they are. How do i fix this

Wired earphones not working on windows 11

Hi Igor,

My wired earphone is not detected (below screenshot). I am sure that I plugged in my wired earphone and the same earphone is working with other computers. Usually, if I plugged in my wired earphone and restart the computer it would work. it would not work if I plugged out the earphone and plugged it again. That means I have to plugged in earphone and restart to make the earphone work. However, it is not always feasible. Do you have further suggestions please? Thanks.

 

Wired earphone not working in windows 11

USB-C wired earphone is not detected on my Windows 11 Laptop but works with a wired earphone that's using a 3.5 mm headphone jack

2 days ago i used my usc-c wired earphones to talk and hear audio. Howver today when I want to use it, it's not detected.I already:

• Restart my laptop
  
• Checked Windows update (Up to date).
  
• Checked audio inputs & outputs in device management, all audio drivers say the best driver is already installed.
  
• Checked sound, video and game controllers in device management, same message as above.
  
• Unplugging and replugging the cable
  
• Flipping the cable upside down (It's USB-C so it can be plugged in), Can't read it either.
  
• Plugging the USB-C earphone into my phone, It works.
  

Surprisingly, using my other wired earphones, this time it's using a 3.5 mm headphone jack with a white ring, it works. Windows detected it and audio came out, microphone still using the built-in one but I still prefer the USB-C one.
