Many of you might have faced this issue, but it was pretty weird facing it the first time. Problem was with the realtek soundchip on my card. Headphones stops working on windows (even though it detects it), but still works on ubuntu. Try all usual stuff (remove, update, reinstall drivers, etc), nothing works. One fine day, I find it starts working again. Then another day it stops working. Realise that sound stops working after i switch from Ubuntu to Windows. Weird. How does ubuntu have an effect on sound in windows? Google issue and find that its some strange ubuntu driver issue that puts audio driver in a weird state. Workaround is to shutdown laptop , remove battery, and hold down power button for 5 seconds to discharge capacitors and then boot into windows.
