I have an XPS 15 9560 16gb ram, I7 7700HQ and for some reason the audio output to earbuds aren't working. More accurately, the recognition of audio devices isn't working. If I start my computer without earbuds in, they don't work when I plug them in (audio plays through the speakers) but if I start the computer with earbuds in, it recognizes those as the only output and unplugging them causes the speakers not to work. In addition, there is no option to select earbuds/headphones as a device.

I've tried several solutions that I've found online, such as:

• System restart
• Uninstalling and reinstalling Realtek drivers
• Checking for driver updates on all audio related devices
• Stopping the HD Audio Background Process, and restarting my system
• Probably more that I can't think of

Any help is greatly appreciated.
