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 "Legally Blonde" meme, the top text reads 'WIN11 WORK LAPTOP. You have consistently working headphones audio?' and the bottom text reads 'HALF-ASSED LINUX INSTALL AT HOME. What, like itโ€™s hard?'

I did IT for my company on the side of my job for a year or two.

Prolific problem where windows would disable the microphone but every single "windows tool" said it was working perfectly fine except teams would say it was not available.

The only possible fix that someone on the internet found was to download an old sketchy file from a 3rd party source for an archived version of their "pre-help-assistant AI slop" audio troubleshooter, and run that and it would immediately say "oh, it is disabled, let me re-enable it for you"

Even though every tool, setting, and even registry said it was enabled.

Microsoft has the worst audio.
