No Sound From Headphones
A few days ago, for no apparent reason, I stopped getting sound from my headphones plugged in to the headphone jack on my HP Pavilion dv7. I've had issues before where sound would stop working all together but re-installing the audio driver would fix it.
Sound still comes out of the built-in speakers, but when I plug in headphones no sound comes from either. I've tried re-installing the driver from HP and that didn't help, also tried installing the Windows driver but that didn't help either.
If I enable the communication headphones in my sound options, I get very, very low sound from my headphones accompanied with crackling from my built-in speakers.
Never have I encountered an issue like this before... I was thinking it might be a hardware issue, but I've ruled that out being as everything works just fine on Ubuntu.
Any help would be appreciated here. Thanks!
