If your headphone jack is not working in Windows 10, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem.
1. Check the physical connection.
Make sure that your headphones are securely plugged into the headphone jack on your computer. Try unplugging and replugging them a few times. You can also try using a different pair of headphones to see if the problem is with your headphones or with the headphone jack itself.
2. Check the audio settings.
Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select “Sounds”. In the Playback tab, make sure that your headphones are selected as the default output device. If they are not listed, try clicking on the “Show Disabled Devices” checkbox.
3. Update your audio drivers.
Outdated or corrupted audio drivers can cause problems with your headphone jack. To update your audio drivers, follow these steps:
Open Device Manager. Expand the “Sound, video, and game controllers” section. Right-click on your audio device and select “Update driver”. Select “Search automatically for updated driver software”. Windows will search for and install the latest drivers for your audio device. If Windows cannot find updated drivers, you can try downloading them manually from the manufacturer’s website.
4. Run the Windows Audio Troubleshooter.
Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter that can help identify and fix problems with audio devices. To run the Audio Troubleshooter, follow these steps:
Open Settings. Click on “Update & Security”. Click on “Troubleshoot”. Click on “Playing Audio”. Click on “Run the troubleshooter”. The troubleshooter will scan your system for problems with your audio devices and attempt to fix them automatically.
5. Restart your computer.
Sometimes, a simple restart can fix problems with your headphone jack. If you have tried all of the other steps and your headphone jack is still not working, try restarting your computer.
If you have tried all of these steps and your headphone jack is still not working, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your computer for further assistance. They may be able to provide you with more specific troubleshooting steps or identify a known issue with the headphone jack on your computer.
