Earlier today, my headphones, which have worked fine for the last 2 years on my PC, have suddenly stopped working on my computer, after some research, I have found that deactivating front jack detection in realtek fixed the problem.However, after this "fix", I no longer have spatial sound, which i used to have on my computer, and the sound quality seems much lower.I have spent 4 hours trying to find a solution for this, I have :
Rebooted my computer
Unplugged and replugged the JAUD1 connector to my MB
Uninstalled and reinstalled realtek
Checked the screen that shows all peripherals, even hidden and unconnected ones, headphones always show up as unconnected
Tried to enable Windows Sonic on my peripherals, which doesnt work as whenever i try to, it immediately goes back to no spatial sound
I have absolutely no idea what to do...Will buying a sound card help ?Will buying a DAC to output sound help either ?I am scared the issue will stay the same even with a DAC or sound card
