Headphones to USB adapter- sensor

[kro12]

Hello,
I have USB adapters for my computers that allows me to use my headphones with USB connection when headphone jacks aren't available. When I leave the USB adapter plugged in all the time, it doesn't sense when headphones are or aren't connected when I plug things in or unplug.
Is there a way to have a USB adapter sense when something is/isn't connected to it and subsequently send that signal to my device?

I know there are headphones that come USB-ready. I am looking for a solution to the specific scenario described above.

Thanks!

"Don't" leave the adaptor plugged in. When you reach to unplug the headphone - pull the adaptor out too

You could try opening Device Manager - Click on the USB Controller and then do ACTIONS->Scan for Hardware Changes
