Hey all! Would really appreciate any help with this as it's really been messing with my music production stuff recently.
My PC has recently stopped recognizing audio devices when I put them in any audio jack on the PC. Whichever device is plugged in during startup is the one it users (defaulted to Logitech speakers), and if I plug in headphones after startup they won't register/work despite working on other devices.
Neither inputs work on my PC (it's a desktop, some details below). Recently I got a CPU upgrade that also involved changing the motherboard, but this started happening days after this upgrade. I also believe maybe malware has gotten onto my computer since I let my mate plug her external hard-drive in, not sure if that could be related.
Desktop/Windows 10 PC/Specs:
16gb RAM, GTX970, i7 9700, new motherboard is an MSI B635M PRO-VDH.
Edit: Windows has started registering when I plug them in, and asks to confirm if they're headphones, when I click okay nothing happens! I can't find my headphones in Sound Systems or under Sound Devices, it still only shows the speakers and both monitors.
Nothing changes if I unplug the speakers, then I just can't use either til I restart.
