Windows 10: Wired earbud volume control doesn't work

Cannot change volume with the wired controls with my earbuds and have to either use the keyboard or volume control on the task bar.

Wired Earbuds Issue / Bug.

My laptop Has A Wired Earbuds/headphones slot. ( It Also supports bluetooth btw. ) I have one similar to this with a microphone. :

But when i start up the laptop they give no audio. When i remove them i hear the audio on my laptop fine it cant be the driver. i even selected them as my sound device; I found a workaround. every time i want them to work i need to :

1. Open Settings
2. Click windows update
3. click troubleshoot then additional troubleshooters
4. click audio and start the audio troubleshooter

Before you think i just need to run it and this will be fine, making this thread useless, wait i added weird for a reason. So i need to go to this screen.

Click play test sounds. I hear nothing, it go to this screen.

After that i need to close the troubleshooter Window. Disconnect my wired earbuds. reconnect them. And It Fixes Itself?????? I also need to restart the programs that were playing audio so i can hear them on my wired earbuds.. is There A Way To Fix This Weird Bug? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 ( OS Build 19045.2788 )

 

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

Earbuds (wired) stopped working between usages

I have a new (purchased in November 2023) Asus Zenbook laptop running Windows 11 and was watching a show with my wired earbuds. They worked fine.

I unplugged them and then a few mintues later decided to listen to some music in my iTunes Library (which they worked yesterday). Plugged the earbuds in and nothing. Still running through the speakers.

I went in to the sound settings and made sure the earbuds were set as default and were enabled. CHECK and CHECK.

Took out another set of earbuds and got the same results. Took the original pair and plugged them in to my old HP Win 10 laptop and the earbuds worked. So it's not the earbuds.

Any idea what is going on here? Suggestions?
