So this is a new issue that was not there as of last week. I plugged in my headphones to my work laptop (Dell Latitude E7470) and no sound is coming through even though all aspects of the PC seem to recognize it. Playback devices, Dell Audio, the like. So it's not the jack. I tested my headphones with my phone and they work fine. I changed a bunch of settings, including turning off the power management option in Dell Audio.
I then undocked my laptop and then bam, audio through the headphones. Docked it again and it was gone. No idea what could be causing this. Neither of my external displays have audio throughput.
