i switched my pc on this morning to find it was outputting the sound through my monitor which was odd. So i go to select audio devices to switch it back to my headphones and it wont show anything else up apart from my monitors speakers, i looked it up and everywhere just told me to update my speakers drivers, but i cant do that because my pc doesn't even pick them up when i plug them in
 
Solution
Go to your motherboard manufacturers website and download chipset drivers from there, if you don't know the manufacturer use CPU-Z to find it.
