Why Is My Laptop Being Stubborn?

January 3, 2016 3:08pm CST
I had my headphones plugged into my laptop for a few days so I could watch YouTube videos and such without disturbing my boyfriend while he watched TV or played his video games. He is not here at the moment, so I was going to play some music on my laptop without the headphones in but I came across a problem. Sound is not coming out of my laptop's speakers and on the volume control, it shows that my headphones are still plugged in! It says: "Headphones (High Definition Audio Device)" However, my headphones are not plugged in. It seems that my laptop is confused. How do I correct this? This has never happened before, I have always been able to switch from headphones to speakers by simply unplugging my headphones!

Yes, if I plug my headphones in I can hear through them but when I unplug them the sound doesn't start coming from the laptop speakers like it normally does.

That happens to us sometimes with the cellphones sometimes when you plug something in and it doesn't register it might not make contact i have never had it happen to me with the computer though sorry.
