Computer headphone sound is off after a large update.?

Last night there was a large update for Window's 10 on my computer. Like an hour long update. It updated the drivers and a lot of other stuff.

The thing is, after this update the sound coming from my headphones is off. It wasn't like this the night before.

Also I tried using my headphones with another computer and my phone and it sounded just fine with those.

I don't know how to describe it but the sound is off. Like it's far away or echo-y. As if I was listening to the computer's speakers instead of the headphones. But the sound is only coming from my headphones.

Update:

Edit: The computer thinks the only device available is the default speaker. Despite my headphones being plugged in they just don't appear on the list of playback devices.

The thing is its still only playing sound through my headphones.

    check all the settings to see if anything got reset and then download drivereasy - update your audio driver and chipset and any others you think will be useful.
