Windows 10: Cannot change sound output from defaults Speakers to Headphones/BT

Hi. I have strange problem with my Ryzen 3600 and Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B450 AORUS ELITE (AM4) based PC. Windows built 1909:
- even I change default sound output to Headphones connected by Jack and cable, there are still only Speakers playing,
- system does react on plugging the Headphones, but still no sound (it used to work well 2 days ago),
- same with Bluetooth Jabra 65t Elite: system connects for maybe a second, sound is transferred for a while and it returns to be only on the Speakers. BTW - you can hear Windows system sounds and do the test - still music goes only to the Speakers. Any ideas what could be the cause?

when switch from headphones to speakers, there is no sound

When I unplug my headphones, the sound does not automatically come back through the speakers.

The speakers are external speakers connected through the speaker output. The headphones are connected by USB port.

There should be a simple way to specify that when the headphones are plugged in, they should be the default. When the headphones are not plugged in, the speakers should be the default. Alas, there are a jumble of settings that do not clearly describe what
they do so I am baffled by how to make this work.

Question: How should Windows be configured so that when the headphones are plugged in, the sound comes through the headphones and when the headphones are not plugged in, the sound comes through the speakers?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

The sound by default went to headphone mode and unable to play sound through speakers.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

I understand that the sound by default went to headphone mode and you are unable to use the speakers as the sound output. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

This issue may arise due to change in the sound settings.

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run playing audio troubleshooter and check if that helps to resolve the issue.

1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

2. Select Troubleshooting.

3. Select View all on the top left corner.

4. Click on Playing audio.

If the issue still persists,

Go to Start, enter Sound, and select
Sound Control Panel from the list of results.

On the Playback tab, right-click on the headphones and choose
disable and now right click on speakers and choose enable and check if that works.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad

to assist you.

Thank you.
