This is a weird problem. My front headphone jack on my PC will not detect headphones if I unplug them and plug them back in. This happens no matter what pair of headphones I use. However, if I restart my computer with the headphones plugged in they will work until I unplug them again. The headphone jack on the back of my computer doesn't have this problem, and will detect headphones no matter how many times I unplug them and plug them back in.
Any ideas?
