Windows 10 No Longer Detects Headphones after a Sound Update?
Hello, guys! I finally decided to contribute to this community with the above mentioned question since I basically tested much of what's published elsewhere and really nothing worked.
Windows does not detect my headphones no matter what I do. A short list as follows:
- Updated drivers - no effect
- Updated drivers based on the list that Windows shows after scanning - no effect
- Rolled back to older version - no effect
- Set my headphones as default device in the Playback tab - no effect
- Disabled enhancements in the advanced settings - no effect
- Changed the settings to 24 bits, 190200 hz - no effect
- Selected the output device in the sound tab as Headphones - no effect
I don't know what else I am supposed to do. Everything worked fine, however prior to these fruitless try outs, I had the stupidity to troubleshoot the sound and from that point on it went downhill.
Please, I need your help to fix this as it appears that Windows does not detect my headphones at all now. As if the jack itself is no longer active since whenever I plug them in, no recognition is registered whatsoever.
I don't know if this has to do anything with input jack separation and if it does, how do I do that?
PS: I don't have Realtek sound manager. If I install their drivers, I lose completely my sound. The big irony is that in my case ASUS recommend Realtek for my motherboard (ASUS PRIME H270-PRO)... All advice is very welcome and appreciated!
