Even after plugging in the headphones, the sound is still coming from the speakers.

After plugging in the headphones, the system does not automatically switch the audio output to the headphones; sound continues to play through the speakers. You must manually switch the default output device to the headphones in the volume control or sound settings, and you must repeat this step every time you plug them in.

    Right-click the speaker icon on your taskbar and select Sound settings.

    Check if your laptop has a headphone jack + combo mic jack — try plugging in slowly or partially to see if the system detects it.
