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

Turns out Windows 11 REALLY sucks. I mean, beyond belief.

1. Go to (https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us?app=products) Enter service tag in the box and hit enter.
2. go to (Drivers&Downloads).
3. Find drivers
4. Download (Waves MaxxAudio Pro Application)
5. Install it
6. restart Computer.
After that connect headphones, and you will see popup dialog box that's ask you to choose the configuration.

Good luck for all.

Hi Ruskle Manav here,
I had the same issue and I researched about it and it is not a windows issue it's a dell issue
What worked for me:
1. Go to "Settings"
2. Go to "Apps"
3. Go to "Startup"
4. Turn ON Waves MaxxAudio Service Application
5. Restart your computer and plug/unplug/re-plug your headphones: everything should work now.
  I am sure this will work 99.99%
If this does not work -
```
1. Download "dell update" or "dell supportOS" (it's for dell, if you have HP laptop or any other company laptop download   their app only"

 2. Scan for drivers

 3. Install any drivers related to sound and reboot the laptop
```

I had the same issue as everyone else here: plugged-in headphones would only work if there were plugged-in when the computer booted. If plugged they would not be detected again until after a restart.

What worked for me:

Go to "Settings"

Go to "Apps"

Go to "Startup"

Turn ON Waves MaxxAudio Service Application

Restart your computer and plug/unplug/re-plug your headphones: everything should work now.

I don't have the MaxxAudio Service - and after reading its reviews and seeing how often people complain about it slowing everything down, not sure I want to install it. I'll be curious to know if others have good results with this?
It works for me yee!!!!
