How do I get Windows/Realtek recognise both headphones and speakers? I used to have something like this before (screenshot is Win7 but it was pretty much the same on my last PC using Win10) - is there any way to get this back? I would like to be able to switch my playback device from the systray again (ideally also being able to set device specific audio levels and different profiles). When my headphones are connected the sound will come through them, I can only listen from my speakers when the headphones are unplugged. When I plug in my headphones I am asked what device I plugged in (answering headphones), but nothing will change - the speakers are still the only device shown.
Clicking the speaker symbol in my systray, however, only shows Speakers (Realtek(R) Audio). I installed Windows with only my speakers connected to the backpanel and later plugged in my headphones on the front panel (connected via an amplifier, but have also tried without). Hi, recently my Sentey Artix USB headphones have been randomly switching my sound to my speakers and then after a few seconds, back to my headphones. My new PC uses a MSI B450 Gaming Plus and I installed the Realtek HD Universal Driver from MSI (version. I usually use my speakers for browsing, music, netflix and switch to my headphones for gaming.
I built a new PC but am struggling to set up my audio.
