My laptop is running windows 10. The speakers play sound even when earphones are plugged in. The earphones play no sound but the staticbsound can be heard. If i open "Sound" in control panel, no device is detected. How can I repair this?

The earphones do not show up in sound properties. I'm now experiencing a change in the behaviour. Sometimes the soind plays through the speaker and earphones and sometimes only the earphones. Am I right in thinking this is an issue with the jack?
