Sound has stopped working on Laptop

Hi,
I have a Huawei Matebook D laptop running windows 11. I've had this for several years. Recently, when i plugged headphones in, it only played sound out of one earpiece...i changed headphones and it was the same...so i went hunting around in Device Manager etc, and the Settings->Sound area, and i clicked a few things...and now i have no sound at all from the laptop.
It says it is using the "Nahimic mirroring device" to play sound, and i can see that in the Device manager, and have gone "update drivers" but to no avail.
I seem to remember it used to use "Realtek Audio" to play sound...but i cant see Realtek Audio in the Device Manager any more.
Strangely, if i connect up a monitor via the HDMI port, and plug headphones into that, then i can hear sound. But not otherwise.
Very grateful for any ideas?

Probably a faulty headphone socket on the laptop.0

Almost certainly so. The clue is the fact that you temporarily had only one channel. This is much more likely to be a hardware fault (in the socket) than a software problem.TadleyBaggie said:Probably a faulty headphone socket on the laptop.
