Headphone Jack not Recognized in Windows 11

Me too. Tried everything listed. Clearly there's a problem that needs to be addressed.

WORKAROUND: I use a Blue Yeti microphone that has a headphone jack in its base. If I plug the headphone into the Blue Yeti and then plug the microphone into its USB port, the headphone works.

Not the best solution, but it does work.

Thank you for this tip! Just bought a Blue Yeti and a new headset so I was very lucky to find your comment.

Have you found a way to not hear yourself through your headphones due to it being connected to the microphone? I muted the mic for now so I can't hear myself clicking my mouse but when I need to use my mic I hope there is a way to not be hearing myself.

I have a similar issue in that My headphones and microphone are not being listed in my device manager settings or input/output devices in the sound menu or anywhere else I look and all the advice I've seen on the topic assumes that my device would be listed in at least one of these places, there is no physical damage to my 3.5 combined port and it doesn't seem to make any difference whether or not my device is plugged in, simply nothing happens. I've been looking for any solution to the problem that doesn't involve me having to go for a multiple hour drive to have it looked at without any guarantee that this would even solve my problem. The headset is brand new so It has to be a problem with my PC, and just to reiterate none of the previous advice in this thread is helpful since my device simply doesn't exist as far as the computer is concerned, no new audio or input drivers or anything, updating my PC's default realtek drivers didn't change anything, and the troubleshooter only finds my internal audio and input devices. My system manufacturer is Acer and the model is Nitro AN525-54 in case that helps at all. Oh and I can pinpoint the issue to the 3.5 mm mic/audio port as I have a USB headset that works just fine as is, I just bought a new headset because The USB headset is worn out and promptly encountered this frustrating issue with no obvious answer as to what I can even do about it.

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 have the same issue, this happened after some Windows Update.. now roll back realtek driver, restore point - nothing works. Mine is a Dell Inspiron 14 5410 laptop..

Working with Dell Support Assist, but their last solution is to reset the laptop to factory setting !!!!
