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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I reinstalled Windows 11 and chose the option to keep all apps and files. This had no effect whatsoever. The Dell tech suggests a complete reinstall which would mean I would need to reinstall each and every app I have. I'm not willing to take that drastic step without any assurance from anyone that that will fix the problem. It seems as if it's a Windows 11 problem that Microsoft is not willing to address.
I am using dell inspiron 5509 iam facing the same issue after updating to windows11. If the jack is connected while the system is rebooting it is detected. If i plug the jack when the system is on it is not getting detected. When I was using win 10 I was not having this issue.
Thanks for the clarification,
Microsoft have confirmed to me that Windows 11 DOES NOT support the microphone on headsets with a mic via the 3.5mm jack plug. The mic is on headsets with mic is only supported via USB port.
Massive frustration after being told a load of rubbish on how to get the 3.5mm jack to work with mic.
Don't waste your time.... the mic wont work on the 3.5 jack.
Solution either buy USB headset (the mic will work then) or buy an adapter to convert your headset to USB (they are about £7 on Amazon)
