Headphones not working on my computer anymore? =/?

The socket the place you plug your earphone in, are notoriously vulnerable. they are no longer designed for repeated in-and-out action. particularly, in case you do no longer insert the earphone plug actual right away. between the little springs interior (truthfully, basically a quick piece of bent metallic) is meant to show off the speaker as quickly as you plug the headphones in. appears like that spring action is now no longer happening. That socket is likewise oftentimes the 1st concern that dies on an iPod.... no longer something to do with "laptop literacy", you will possibly desire to be a hardware engineer. The sockets needs changing. in spite of this, you may attempt to interchange the three.5mm dia plug on your earphones with yet another one, making specific the "head" of the plug is slightly greater desirable than what you have now. that would additionally get you going back, yet basically for yet another few months....

disconnect the headphone plug and put it in your ipod or something and check if they work, if they do, then your sound driver is messed up. update the drivers from device manager and then restart the computer. it should fix the problem
