My sound on my laptop was working fine until the evening of 7/15/2015, when I plugged in my headphones and noticed that I could not hear anything through them except some faint static sounding feedback (not complete silence). When I turned my volume up, I noticed that sound was coming out of my speakers while the headphones were still plugged in. No notifications pop up when I plug in and remove my headphones like they used to, and they don't show up under playback devices, even when "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices" are checked. My headphones work when I plug them into anything else, and were working fine on my laptop earlier in the day. Trying other working headphones on my laptop gives me the same problem. I have been trying to fix this for two days. During this time, I have restarted my computer multiple times, and have uninstalled/ reinstalled/ updated my audio drivers, among other things. This is very weird, and came out of the blue. I did not drop my laptop or anything before this happened; it was simply sitting on my bed. Could someone please give me some suggestions of what I could do to solve this?
