My laptop upgraded to Windows 11. It broke the headphone jack and built in speakers. The computer just doesn't detect them anymore. O⁠_⁠o

Windows 11 would CONSTANTLY turn off my headphones microphone at a hardware level. Running the "recording audio" troubleshooter was the only way to fix. Probably the only thing that windows troubleshooter fixed for me in 25 years.

Linux Mint worked out the box never going back. Feel bad for people who need Adobe.

I've had this happen too, multiple times. It's a pain in the ass to fix, and I have no idea where to start. I know you can force block driver updates for your speakers through windows update somewhere, that prevents this thing from happening again.
