I have exactly the same problem, happened in the last few days but not sure exactly when. None of the online guides to sort the problem work. Extremely frustrating.
Headphone Jack not Recognized in Windows 11
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

2022-08-06T04:20:47+00:00 I have tried them all and none of them work.
The headphone jack was working fine on windows 10 but on the insider preview of windows 11 it does not work properly.
If i connect my earphones when the laptop is turning on but if i take the earphones out then the laptop is working i cannot connect them again. Now i will have to restart my laptop if i want to connect them again.
This is so much annoying.

First, try to connec the headphone using a different computer or device for us to check if the issue is with the computer or the headphone itself.
If it does the same using a different device means that the headphone is faulty .

go to control panel, click on devices and printer.
you should see headphone on there. click on headphone and on hardware,
go to properties. then drivers , update drivers from there. That should fix the problem,
it did for me.
