It’s pretty ironic to have problems with audio not recognizing headphones… on WINDOWS.
Multi-trillion (10^12) dollar company, btw.
(Both laptops are reasonably new.)

The fuck of wanky-ass Windows installs are you guys running that you’d have audio issues?
Let me guess, you guys ran some weird script you found online that promised to delete all the anti-privacy features without checking what it actually did, and fucked up the whole OS so you can cirklejerk around on Linux forums complaining about Windows?
Want to bet if you did a fresh install of Windows without all the workarounds you seem to need, it will just work?
Had a fun one on a school managed laptop when I went back to school a couple of years ago. Windows got a broken driver release for one of the Realtek audio chipsets added to their driver repository, and literally every one of the laptops pulled down this updated driver and lost all ability to output sound. School’s IT (I had a couple of friends working on their IT at this time) had a heck of a time trying to get it set to roll back and pin the driver on every impacted computer, and when I most recently reinstalled Windows following graduation and gaining ownership of this laptop I had to re-apply this workaround because Microsoft still hadn’t changed the driver version in their repository over a year later
To be entirely fair, some portion of the fault probably lies with Realtek, and this could’ve been avoided by selecting a device with a better audio chipset, but the point still stands that the default state is still slightly very broken
Lol we’re all talking about the locked down shit windows laptops work provides. Mine is totally fine except audio sounds like shit. You can understand speech just fine but music sounds like it’s coming through a tin can with a string.
