something wrong with my laptop recently

two things happen to my laptop recently and it never happen before. I'm lost and confuse, i tried to look for help online but it didn't help.

1. First, i can't use my headphone which I don't know why. My speaker is perfectly fine, it had sound and i can adjust the volume. When i plug my headphone to my laptop, the sound is coming from the speaker, not my headphone. I did test the headphone to make sure is not broking. There are testing sound come from my headphone when i test it at playback device.

2. After the headphone, a week later, something wrong with my battery icon. It suddenly have a red x on the icon, and its first time it happen to me. sometimes it say "full charged 100%" but sometimes it say 15%, not plug in.

I really don't know what happen to it. I really appreciate it if someone can help me solve it. Thanks
