Windows 10: Wired Headphones not detected

My headphones that are wired are not detected after I restarted windows, before restarting windows they worked perfectly, my headphones are not faulty, I can hear from the headphones but the microphone is not working, and before the headphones were detected , now not. I am on windows 11.

wired headphone detection problem?

Before starting my laptop when I connect my wired 3.5mm headphone it works fine, but after reconnecting it again it do not detect it. What should I do?

 

Headphones Not Detected

Wasn't sure what topic to put this under.

Windows 10 refuses to detect my headphones from my headset. The mic is fine. The computer even recognizes when I plug the headphones of the headset in. But it refuses to detect them. I can go into my Sound in Control Panel all day, and there will NEVER be any
headphones in that list. So, no, I cannot click headphones, just making that clear before someone suggests clicking on headphones.

How do I force Windows 10 to detect the headphones that I have plugged in, so that they will work? The jack is working fine. When I plug them in it gives me the pop-up letting me know that I plugged something into the jack. But that's the end of it. It will
not detect the headphones. Nothing comes out of them. There are no headphones in the Sound list. There is nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Why does it register something is plugged in and then refuse to detect it?

Someone please figure out why Windows 10 simply cannot detect headphones and help me fix this so I can use my headset.
