I'm assuming this is a driver problem. Sadly enough, I've been searching for ways to fix this for quite awhile to no avail. I can't hear anything when I use my headphone jack in Win7. So I went to the control panel and started adjusting shit and making different devices the default devices. I never see anything about headphones in the sound device manager when I plug in the headphone. At the bottom of the screen on the right in the taskbar the Realtek HD Audio Manager informs me that I just plugged/unplugged a device into the audio jack but it never actually works. I went to sound > playback devices and the two things that show are Speakers(which is the default device, and something called 37LCD-UD(underneath it says High Definition Audio Device and that it is unplugged. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to change that.
I'm dumb when it comes to windows.

Is it working under linux? Try downloading the latest realtek drivers from their site (http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false).

Do the headphones work when you plug them into a different device? eg. a mobile phone. If not this may be a driver problem. It happened to me with a microphone jack some time back. Just install the correct drivers and it will work.

Well, I know that the headphones work because they work under linux, which also lets me know that the jack isn't broken. However, I've went to the manufacturer website and found my computer's exact model and there is only one sound driver and I've tried to install that many times but it doesn't change anything.

Have you tried the link I gave you? Your manufacturer's drivers can be outdated.
