I have seen a similar troubleshooting guide at https://speakersninja.com and it worked really well for me. Try this out! It may work for you.
# Go to Control Panel (If you do not know how to find it follow these steps)
[code]a. Click Start and Control Panel. b. Click Hardware and Sound and then Recording.[/code]
# Scroll down until you see "RealTek HD Audio Manager (Most likely the last thing on the list) Select it opening the program. When it opens up you should see two circles at the very bottom, under the letters (A B C D) . If the bottom circle is highlighted (Headphone outlet) then your laptop knows that your headphones are there. Same for the top circle (recording outlet).
# a. Click A and let it play through for both of your laptop speakers
# b. Click B and let it play through for headphones output
# c. C Should be for recording outlet and I am not sure what D is for. Keep it highlighted and exit out after testing if the device (letter you highlighted) and your problem should be solved. If there are still problems then do as I did and try looking through things (Only recommended if you are good at problem-solving and/or able to grasp the simple settings of a computer device).
You shouldn't have to go back and change the settings.
Anyway Thanks :)
