Windows 8 Headphones Not Working

Just today I purchased a Windows 8 laptop, (hating windows 8 so far) and my headphones (using the standard headphone jack) do not work. I have been googling like crazy, only to find fixes for Realtek Audio Cards. I have an AMD Audio Card, with fully updated drivers. Thanks in advance all who help, and I hope to be hearing from someone soon.

Windows 8 Usb Headphones Not Working

Archived

So I upgraded to windows 10 last night and booted up my computer today and no sound would play through my headphones, just the speakers. I clicked the speaker icon in the bottom right corner and it said it was playing trough the Corsair H1500 Headset but nothing plays through them at all. They're plugged in through USB and I know the USB slot works and the headphones still work because I used my headphones right before I upgraded. Also if it's any help, on skype when I try to call someone it says 'Problem with playback device.' Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
