Suddenly all things sound related have gone haywire

I have been gaming online alot recently and had my sound setup exactly as I wanted it (albeit it took effort working out how to get it there). If my headset with microphone was plugged in, I would hear the sound through them and if I unplugged the headset, the sound would then come from the speakers. Then suddenly yesterday, having not updated anything, I had all sorts of issues. The sound played through the headset, but if I unplugged them, no sound came from the speakers, and if I plugged them back in the headset wouldn't restart giving sound. In order to then get sound from my headset I then had to close down whatever I was listening to (itunes or COD MW) and upon restarting them the sound would work again. But I also have the added problem now that microphone has stopped working when in game, all that anyone else can hear is loud static. I have tried to troubleshoot the microphone, but it registers the static as sound and says they are working at 100%... despite the fact I never speak into it! Then finally, about half an hour ago, having 'tested' my speakers repeatedly, the left one no longer makes sound (but I have no reason to think that the speaker is broken). Does anyone have any help or advice please? 24 hours ago I was a happy gamer with a setup that worked for me and now I can't do a damn thing and for apparently no good reason. Any help appreciated.
