    Hi, quite a number of people have discussed this or a similar issue on this forum - just search for 'headphones' and you'll see plenty of results. You may find something there that may help you- perhaps you could also check for a reference to your sound card/driver.
    E.g.
    VIA HD Audio doesn't switch between speakers/headphones - Windows 10 Forums
    Windows 10 No Audio with headphone (Possible fix) - Windows 10 Forums
    Good luck!

    Probably the audio drivers are Microsoft and they do not detect when you plug in the headphones. Try updating to OEM drivers from your notebook's support site.
