Headphones are not showing up in playback devices on Helios 300 (G3-572)

Saad98

This is a issue in my laptop from start. Whenever I plug in my headset or headphone, a pop up displays asking to choose the hardware. This sometimes happen and not always. I do not care about this too muc but what I care about a lot is my headphones and headset aren't showing up in playback devices. You whenever we connect a headset it appears in playback devices and the media volume used to be reduced automatically. I have also sent my laptop to service center for this issue but nothing happened, basically they hard resetted the windows. I have all my drivers updated too. Please help out with this. I can't use any softwares like voice modulators or such as they require headphones to be selected as o/p device in playback devices.
