Headphone appears connected on HP Audio Switch while it has been unplugged.

[Ateik]

If I plugged headphone the sound works, but when unplugged there is no sound from internal speakers.

The workaround I use right now,  is enabling multistreaming in Audio manager, so I can switch between speakers and headphone manually and it works.

I heat this solution, it's annoying.

I tried everything: uninstall/reinstall drivers, updating drivers, troubleshooting, hard reset, bios reset to default, change driver to microsoft HD Audio Driver, and even use the recovery manager to reinstall drivers. But didn't fix the issue. 

I used Hardware Diagnosis and there is no hardware problem.

I don't want to reinstall windows itself.

Could you please help me.

@Ateik,

I reviewed your post and I understand that the headphones show connected even after unplugging the headphones.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you perform a system restore back to the date when everything was working fine on the computer.

Follow the steps in the below article to perform system restore.
