    My Laptop doesn't differentiate between its own speakers and any other plugged in device...


    Hello,


    My Laptop doesn't differentiate between its own speakers and any other plugged in device like headphones or speakers.

    When I plug in any other device to play audio I used to be able to switch the sound output over the volume mixer option.

    This is not possible anymore for some reason. I have updated and also deleted and reinstalled the audio drivers but nothing changed.

    Is there any way to make the computer distinguish again between devices or no so that you can decide what device gets used for Audio output or microphone input etc.


    Thanks for your help!

    :)

    Speakers playing when headphones are plugged in

    I have an HP laptop with windows 10. When my headphones are plugged in, the speakers are still playing. When I go to sounds, the only device listed is the speakers. How can I silence the speakers when the headphones are plugged in.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Can't select paired bluetooth speaker as sound output (Windows 10)

    I just got a new bluetooth speaker, an Urbanears Stammen (concrete grey)

    I can connect to it from my phone, using Bluetooth, and play back sound no problem. But I can't get my Windows 10 laptop (Dell XPS 15) to use it as a playback device.

    I can connect and pair to it no problem, as you see in the screenshot below

    It also shows up under bluetooth in the device manager. It's not listed under "Audio inputs and outputs", which I thought it should be, but I can see it under "Sound, video and game controllers".

    I found this relevant superuser question: Windows 10 computer paired w/ bluetooth speaker, but doesn't send music to speaker

    And I tried the suggested steps listed there, but nothing helped My Laptop doesn't differentiate between its own speakers and any other plugged in device... :(

    Any further ideas I could try?
