Z390-A USB-C Port Works only with Phone, not Headphones --New Problem

Basspig
Level 7
I was using the USB-C port on the Z390-A to charge my Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones and to listen to audio on the PC at night. It recently stopped working and since the summer, I have not been able to use or even charge the headphones. The same cable, when connected to my Galaxy Note 10+, both charges the phone AND does data transfers.
I tried another cable and another port and the headphones work on other ports, just no longer on the USB-C port that used to be my dedicated headphone port.

Also, the port physically next to the USB-C port seems to be intermittent and now completely dead. Nothing I plug into it is detected.

I've tried uninstalling all the root hub drivers and rebooting, but the ports continue to behave in this odd manner. Until I solve this, i need to buy a port expander so I can connect the devices I need--I don't have enough ports because these two no longer work.

Any other suggestions or is my hardware just dead?
Regards,
Mark
