    Headphone Jack does not recognize headset microphone

    Hello,

    Since a couple days the 3.5mm headphone jack of my computer does not recognize my headset microphone. When its plugged in the audio output works, but it says there is no microphone connected. It does recognize the headphones (audio output).

    I already tried all of the following troubleshooting tips:

    • The headset works on other devices (Laptop with Windows 11, PlayStation)
    • Adjusting privacy settings.
    • Enabling microphone in device manager (however this is not possible because it says its not connected)
    • Reinstalling the device in control panel.
    • Updating drives, windows etc.
    • Other headsets also have the same problem on that port.

    Audio jack seems not detect my headphone

    I have a windows 10 laptop and up until yesterday everything was fine , and suddenly it seems that my audio jack doesn;t detect my headphone. I connect my headphone to the audio jack, but the sounds just came out my laptop's speaker. I've tried to switch to my earphone and the result is the same. I've tried several solutions like uninstalling my driver or trying to get to the sounds properties , but the results are the same. Please give me your help , and btw I'm new here.
