It’s pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones… on WINDOWS.

Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.

    That’s a driver thing, so it’s wrong to blame Windows for this, when the drivers probably aren’t even made by Microsoft.

              Hm? Why would it be?

              Afaik wired audio is a solved problem since the introduction of the AC’97 standard in, fittingly, 1997. Which, as it happens, relies on an audio controller that sits between the hardware and the OS. Major OSes have been shipped with standard drivers for AC’97 support for the past twenty-nine years or thereabouts.

              This leads me to believe that the OP is talking about Bluetooth, still rather wonky between different software stacks.
