  1. I cannot switch from headphones to speakers on Windows 10


    My pc only recognizes 1 audio device and if I plug in the headphones when the speakers are already plugged in the sound switches to headphones but if I want to switch back to speakers the only option is to unplug the headphones. Can anybody help me please?

    :)

    Automatically switch from headphones to speakers


    In windows 7, when headphones were plugged into the jack on the front of the machine it would automatically switch to the headphones and mute the speakers. If you unplugged them, it would enable the speakers. How would I go about enabling this on Windows 10?

    Speakers and headphones work at the same time

    Hi.

    Let us isolate your concern by answering these few questions.

    • Have you tried connecting your headphones directly to your desktop?
    • Does your speaker work normally when connected to your desktop?
    You may try the following steps to help resolve your concern:

    • Unplug or Disconnect your speaker from the desktop.
    • Connect your headphone directly to the desktop.
    If the headphone works properly when directly connected to the desktop, we suggest that you contact your speaker manufacturer for assistance.

    Let us know how it goes.

    I cannot switch from headphones to speakers on Windows 10

    Sound switch from laptop speakers to headphones.

    click on the speaker icon (bottom right by the clock)

    then click on the up arrow, to display the list of playback devices.

    if you headphones are in the list click on them to switch sound output.
