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

    There's nothing wrong with the headphone jack, people! It worked perfectly fine on Windows 10. You just had to install Realtek drivers. But this software is not on Win 11

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

    I had the same problem until I enabled "RtkAudUService64" under startup apps, using ctrl+alt+del to find that.

    So hopefully that works for you!

    I have been having issues with my Dell LAttitude 7440. Basically a pop up appeared and asked what was the device, I made a mistake and clicked the wrong thing and I also ticked not to ask again.

    Everytime I plug the device its recognized as a Line in- the app is called Dell Optimizer. Click on Audio and you will find the option to enable pop up again, re insert your device and it will ask again- this time indicate it as a headphone jack. Worked for me!
