Hello,

The 3.5 mm audio jack output doesn't seem to be working anymore: when I plug in any audio device (earphones, headphones) that works elsewhere, nothing happens, the device is not recognized and the sound comes from the built-in speakers.

Configuration: Acer laptop, Windows 10

Actions already tried: Restart, reinstalling the drivers (maybe not done properly).

It's good, I found the solution (it's a bit weird):

Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/High Definition Audio Manager

In the upper right corner, click on the small folder icon and check the box "Enable the dialog window...".

When you plug in a device, the computer will ask you what type of device it is (speakers, microphone...).

But where it's weird is that after this manipulation, even when the box is unchecked, it still works. If anyone has an explanation, please feel free to share!
