Think I've found a solution
Been having the same problem as a lot of you, regarding headphones not working.
I've sat here for four hours now trying all your tips: STANDBY! CLOSING THE LID! MUTING THE VOLUME! FOUR BL@@DY HOURS!
Finally plucked up the courage to remove the realtek software from my computer, in the hope that re-installing it would solve the problem.
HEY-PRESTO! headphones working again!
Upon restarting my laptop, a 'Found new hardware' caption appeared bottom right, and the installation wizard started up and searched for Realtek software.
The headphones did not automatically work, until I opened the realtek audio manager, and changed the connector settings; to enable popup when device has been plugged in.
I also noted that on the old realtek manager all three jacks were present on the screen, however the re-installed version had only one.
Not the most computer literate in the world but wonder if the ports were having trouble distinguishing themselves from one and other.
Anyway by enabling the popup when the device is plugged in, every time you plug in a jack into the three ports it recognises the individual device when you click OK.
Sorry this post is so long, I'm just well chuffed with myself, and can finally get some sleep. Hope this cures everyone elses aswell! good luck!
