Issue with headphones on Dell latitude laptop

New beginning

Beginner
I am facing a strange issue with my Dell latitude laptop. If I connect earphones in 3.5mm jack, it works properly. However,vif i unplug the same and replug, I am unable to hear any sound in earphones. In this case, the sound comes out of laptop speaker. This issue persists till I restart the laptop. It is running Win 11. What could be going wrong here? Any suggestions?

Is this issue so unique? I tried reinstalling sound card drivers just for the heck of it. But it did not help. Should try a different earphones or try this earphones on a different laptop
