    PLZ HELP .... Headphones and microphone not detected


    New PC built:
    - Windows 10 version 2004
    - Motherboard: MSI X470 Gaming Plus
    - Ryzen 5 2600
    - Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
    - Monitor: Samsung UE590

    Problem:
    My PC only detects my monitor as an audio device. It doesn't show my headset or microphone as and audio device when I connect it in the 3.5mm jack of the motherboard or the front panel. My headset works fine if I connect it to my monitor (however, my monitor doesn't have microphone jack, so I can't use my microphone).

    Things I tried to solve the problem:
    - Updated BIOS
    - Updated Windows
    - Reinstalled Windows
    - Tried different headset
    - Tried using splitter with my headset
    - Updated audio driver. I have two audio drivers: High Definition Audio Driver and NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible)
    - Tried connecting my monitor with HDMI cable instead of DVI cable
