    Headphones not showing in Playback Devices


    So I've just finished installing the creators update and only Speakers are showing in Playback Devices. I've tried updating my sound drivers as well as selecting 'Show Disabled/Disconnected Devices'. I've also run the troubleshooter. Headphones do not appear as an option in the Levels tab also. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    Solved: Uninstalled the sound device from the device manager (not the driver), then restarted.

    Heyy frank1985 ,
    I am facing the same problem as the one you faced, I want to do what you did to solve it, however, i didn't understand what you meant by uninstalling the sound device, not the driver. whenever I try to uninstall the device it uninstalls the driver and it does not solve the problem. can you please elaborate more on your solution. thanks
