How do I force Windows to play sound through the speakers only when a USB headset isn't connected?
- by Phoexo
I'm using a speaker set connected through the green audio jack and a headset which I connect through USB. My problem is that every time I connect/disconnect my headset, I have to go through a lot of settings/restart some programs to make the sound go through the speakers again.
What I want is to have audio play through the headset when it's connected, but if I disconnect the headset, I want the audio to automatically play through the speakers.
For example, if I connect/disconnect the headset while listening to music, I have to restart the application to make the music play through the correct speaker/headset, and it shouldn't be that inconvenient.
(I found this somewhat relevant topic, but the problem is that it doesn't really give an answer. (Also, it is 2 years old.))
