Installed Windows 10, but can't get audio jack to work!

Hi,

I upgraded from 8.1 to Windows 10 and everything works great. The only issue is the audio jack - I can't use my headphones, because it doesn't work.

I tried to remove the driver and reinstall it and also have it selected as the default device. Windows troubleshooting can't find any problems with it, but there's just no sound.

I googled a bit and didn't find anything that helped me so far. Any ideas?

Thanks

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Other OS, Windows 10 / Yosemite

The analog/optical microswitch is stuck in the optical position. Try the SMC Reset and NVRAM Reset.

Do you have a faint red-light in the Audio jack?
