    won't detect that my headphones are plugged in


    my dell laptop won't detect that headphones are plugged in. it used to work but now it doesn't. I've tried to update my drivers but there are no updates available. I've tried all the methods they say online but they don't work either as my headphones just aren't detected and I don't know what to do. can anyone help me?

    :)

    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.

    Headphone jack wont detect headphones being plugged into it.

    I've updated every audio related driver I can find and searched for help for literal days and I can't find a solution that works.

    This issue started one morning for seemingly no reason. There was no windows update or anything unless it was just a background one and all of a sudden no headphone would be detected in my 3.5mm headphone jack. I tried to use the troubleshooter but it said
    that it couldn't continue troubleshooting until I plugged in the headphones, but they were plugged in.

    Any help and suggestions would be much appreciated. Please, its been 3 months now, I need headphones.
