Headphones not recognized Windows 10

Hey so after a couple hours of experimenting I have gotten my headphones to work. What worked for me was uninstalling the control software for my laptop's jack hardware (in my case the Recon3D Control Center). Many sources I found recommended reinstalling the software or drivers but my headphones are working now without reinstalling anything. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Update:

So after screwing with my sound settings to fix my bluetooth speaker's bass, my headphones are once again not working. I don't think I directly changed any settings for them. Any help is appreciated. I have a Recon3Di inside my alienware m14x. Thanks a bunch!

Another Update:
Ok so it seems I was able to fix it again. The mic in ports still don't work but I'm gonna take what I can get, at least until some customer support is available. This time I reinstalled the driver for my Recon3Di which is apparently completely different from the Recon3D (The 3Di is nowhere to be found on Creative Technology Ltd.'s website. Instead I found it on a Dell drivers page.) I didn't find any drivers for windows 10 so I just tried the one for windows 8.1. Directly after the install my pc was acting up and unable to find ANY audio related hardware. Upon a reboot all sound function is restored; sound plays from speakers when aux-out jack is empty, plays from headphone when they're plugged in. (my mic jacks are still not working but i'm satisfied for now.)

Hope this helps!


I faced same problem when upgraded to Windows 10 and Updating the sound driver worked like a charm for me.
