Laptop audio jack not detecting headphones

[ArmenianMobster]

I recently pulled a pair of headphones I have not used in a couple weeks to use it for my laptop and they are not being recognized by windows 10. I looked to see if it maybe was disabled but no luck. I used these headphones about a month ago for my desktop with no complications but now they don't seem to work with my laptop. I even tried plugging in a different set of headphones and they weren't even being recognized. I went into device manager to try and update all the drivers but that did not work. I'm at a loss at what to do next. The first pair of headphones is an off market brand and the 2nd pair are bluetooth Bose headphones which work wirelessly, but when I used the auxiliary cord it comes with, it wouldn't work. 

 

Any input would be appreciated!

do you have a phone to test them on?

 

also it could just be dust inside the port. try cleaning it and spinning the jack a bit to see if its detected
