For some reason, the headphone jack on my laptop (HP Pavilion G6-1325ea, which might have been discontinued) has seemed to stop working for some reason.
It was working fine about a week ago, but now nothing that I plug into it will play audio. Even Windows 8.1 claims that my headphones are "not plugged in."
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but nothing seems to work. I can't set the headphones to the default device either (the option is greyed out).
It can't be an on-board audio problem because the speakers still work and it can't be a problem with the headphones because they work on practically everything I could find with a 3.5mm jack, which includes another laptop.
I have no idea how to fix this issue and no solution has appeared yet. I also installed a Realtek HD audio codec, but that has since been uninstalled (it's an AMD APU laptop, after all)
And before you even think about asking; yes, the headphones are in fact plugged in.
Any suggestions?
Huge thanks in advance, by the way.
