So long story short, I managed to break the sensing switch in the headphone/audio jack. And now my laptop thinks there's always something in it, despite the fact that there isn't, and as such, no audio is coming from my onboard speakers.
The audio does still work fine- I've been using speakers for a while, and I use a headset when I want to as well. While the workaround has worked perfectly fine, it is really irritating considering I have a laptop and it's basically confined to being a desktop now, since I can't have any audio if the speakers don't go with me. I have RealTek HD Audio Manager, however I cannot do anything in the Audio Manager that will make any difference. Same goes for messing with Playback Devices in Control Panel.
I wanted to know if there's anything I can do to fix this WITHOUT going into my computer and snipping something or tinkering with the hardware.
Here's what I have:
Lenovo IdeaPad Y480
RealTek HD Audio
