I was having this issue as well. I had just tried dealing with ANOTHER driver issue (S0 Sleep State was completely gone, I did a whole list of things including disabling a bunch of startup stuff to do a safe boot) ((for anyone else with THAT issue, I finally resolved it after i did two different things at the same time, so I am not sure which resolved my issue. First, I reinstalled my OS using the Settings > System > Recovery > Fix problem using Windows Update option to download a repair install of the OS. This allowed me to repair install the OS without having to back everything up. While that was downloading, I also reinstalled the Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.5333 and made sure to check the "clean install" option or whatever it was tagged as to uninstall the old driver first, as I was not certain I had done this on my first attempt at reinstalling the driver.))

anyways following that I couldn't figure out why switching the device plugged into my aux port wasn't working any time after first boot. I made sure Waves MaxAudio Service Application was enabled as a startup option as many in this and other threads suggested. However, I missed that the Realtek HD Audio Universal Service was also disabled on startup. enabled, rebooted, fixed! so make sure both are enabled !

I fixed it! I downloaded the audio drivers from my motherboard's website (H81M-C - Support (asus.com)), not from Realtek (PC Audio Codecs > High Definition Audio Codecs Software - REALTEK).

I didn't have to touch any setting. Plugged the headphones on my front jack and it works now.

Thanks, but that has always been enabled in my startup apps.
