Windows 10: Accidentally changed headphones to line in somehow

Hello, I recently changed my headphones to line in by accident and pressed "do not show this again" and now I can't change it back do not try to tell me to show hidden devices it doesn't show anything, it is really annoying, I am using windows 11 from the Microsoft website

:)

 

Accidentally changed headphone to Line in settings, how do you change it back?

Typically, when I plugged in my headphones a small popup would ask "What do you want to do with this device", or something of that nature. I had clicked the "Remember this" check box to prevent it from popping up again, however I accidentally selected
"Line" instead of "Headphones". Now my computer treats the headphone jack, and anything I plug into, as a Line which is what I don't want. I've sifted through the settings but everytime I plug in my headphones it reverts back to telling me that its reading
it as a Line in. How do I change the settings to either ask me everytime I plug my headphones in what I want to treat it as, or change the jack settings to treat my input as headphones?

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if you are able to view the Headphones in the playback devices.

• 
  Right click on the
  Speakers icon in the task bar.
  
• 
  Select Playback
  devices.
  
• 
  On the window that appears you will see your
  Speaker.
  
• 
  Rightclick on the
  blank space and check Show
  Disconnected Devices and Show
  Disabled Devices.
  
• 
  If you see that the
  Headphones is disabled, right click on
  Headphones and click enable.
  

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.

Thank you.
