Troubleshooting audio loss

[Semper]

System is in signature

The short story:
Audio was functioning. Left desk to take christmas tree out to the trash, came back, and audio was no longer working. The only thing that will "transmit" through my jacks is a soft, but piercing squealing or fuzzy static sound
Normally my audio plays through my front header; Realtek HD Audio, via Razer Surround
Neither Windows or Synapse recognize that my headphones are connected, or the jack is active.
Attempted a restart, attempted disabling and enabling both Razer and Realtek Controllers individually, and together, attempted to use rear audio jacks, attempted driver updates (newest version installed and re-tested), attempted a BIOS update (most current, no update available), attempted re-seating motherboard headers.
Nothing thus far has worked.
Headphones were tested on a different device and confirmed to be fully functioning

This happens with me, but because I broke my headphone jack, what I did was buy a usb that I could feed my headphone/mic thru so it could work. But another option that helped me out was just use the usb feeder for my headphones, and like 3 days later my normal jack was working. I just messed around with it, (like putting the headphone in and out moving it and so) and it worked perfectly. Some times they don't but I just mess around with it and done

What happens when you plug to the motherboard itself, rear IO?

Same output, either static or squealing. Neither Windows nor Synapse notice the jack is occupied.

Okay, pull the Sound window and view the tab Playback. Right click and make sure show Disabled Devices and Disconnected Devices are checked. What do you see?

 

Open Device Manager, click View in the menu tab and check Show Hidden Devices.

And double click on the Sound, video and game controllers to see all the controller.

What do you see?

 

Screenshots would be helpful too.

 

You should see something like this:

When I say that Windows isn't recognizing any of the jacks are active any longer, this is where the info is coming from.

(ignore that it states i'm using the BlackShark, it defaults to that as it's not recognizing an interface in use.)

Right...Looks like something is dead in the audio department in your motherboard.

Try to boot on linux live usb/another OS see if your audio works again. If not, it seems to be hardware. I don't know if you still have warranty on your mobo, if not, you should buy a dac then.
