My Headphone Jack no longer works after upgrading to Windows 11. It works if I have it plugged in and reboot, but as soon as I unplug it stops until a reboot....it does not automatically detect it

I had the same issue with my Dell XPS 15 (Upgraded to Windows 11 and my headphones stopped working). I Googled "Dell support", downloaded Dell's SupportAssist. SupportAssist scanned my laptop and found 9 software updates, RealTek Audio was classified as an "Urgent" update. I let it install all of the updates, rebooted, and my headphone-jack works normally again.
Uninstalling/installing via Device Manager didn't work at all. Windows just re-installed the same bad drivers.
It would not allow me to "Keep personal files and apps" It was going to delete everything.....it would not let me select any other option so I canceled and kept everything where it is
