Windows 10: sound from speakers does not switches automatically to headphones

sound from speakers does not switches automatically to headphones. To listen via headphones I have to restart my system or connect my headphone before power on the machine

Sound Blaster Z auto switch from headphones to speakers?

Hey guys, I recently bought this Sound Blaster Z card.

I noticed when I unplug my headphones it does not automatically switch to the speakers!

AFAIK the only way to switch from my headphones to the speakers or vice versa is via the control panel.





Anyone know if there is an option to automatically switch between the headphones and speakers?

 

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.

 

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.
