I so hate it. I have just restarted Windows, and my headphones were working. Now they again stop working, and the laptop is using its loudspeaker.
Is there any way on Earth to diagnose the cause of this in Window 10?
I have to restart Windows 10 to make my headphone port work, instead of the speaker.
There must be some tool to find out the cause. I don't even care about fixing it. Let it stay broken. It maddens me that million of human hours went into the making of a system that does not let you investigate such a basic thing.
Why is there no tool to manually switch between the loudspeaker and the phone port?
I asked a question about this on the main site years ago, and no answer.
I recall that in the DOS times back in 1995 I could fiddle with some settings inside setting files. Now it's all gone, and the system looks totally impenetrable and incomprehensible.
It's mindboggling that such a simple issue is not solved.
Gosh, it dates back to 2016. Maybe I need to upgrade to Windows 11 to be able to use my headphone jack.
That's why the USSR collapsed. Any sufficiently big organization of human beings starts acting weirdly and stops paying attention to details.
I have a 100 kb app that will keep any window on top always. It's that simple. Why no simple app with a switch: internal speaker / headphone jack? Is there some dark magic involved? O_o
