    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.

  3. Volumes for headphones and speakers are separate

    Hi,

    To assist you better, please answer the below:

    1. Are you changing the volume on headphone or from the sound icon in the taskbar of the system?

    2. How are you trying to change the speaker volume?

    I suggest you to run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    Follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + W and type troubleshooting.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the on-screen instruction to run the troubleshooter.
    Also try to download and install the latest chipset and Sound drivers from the manufacturer website and install the same.

    Hope it helps. Revert to us with the results, will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    How can I adjust the volume of headphone and laptop speaker separately?

    How can I adjust the volume on my headphone and laptop speakers separately? For example, I want to mute my laptop speakers but on my headphone, I want it on 50. Is there anyway I can adjust them differently?
