Recently I bought an audio adapter to use my headphones with, because I busted my headphone jack so it doens't play clearly anymore. When I plugged in the device, it installed like normal and it worked. But when I unplugged the device, some programs wouldn't play sound anymore (e.g. windows media player, a steam game, etc.) and I can't figure out why. The audio works with the jack, but wihtout it-- I get nothing but silence.
Windows media player tells me it can't play the audio file, while the steam game just gave me nothing. I don't know what to do and I've tried looking for help but I can't find another person with the same issue.
Could someone help me? I'd like to be able ot play music and play games without using my headphones each time.
