    Win10 no longer automatically switching to USB earphones


    After a Win10 update last night, my computer is no longer automatically switching to USB earphones when I plug them in.

    As always (way back to Win7), my internal speakers are set as the default device and my earphones are set as the default communications device.

    The sound settings show that the earphones are being recognized, and the only way I now am able to get them to work is to change the settings so they are the main default device.

    Hoping someone can help me fix this (and that it isn't a new Windows bug I have to wait to be fixed).

    Windows 10 will not switch from speakers to earphones

    I know there have been numerous similar problems/solutions regarding this Windows 10 issue but my problem persists, perhaps in part because I can't always find the right files etc on my computer.

    I used to run Windows 7 but upgraded to Windows 10. Major major mistake!! My computer is now mostly a large paper weight and generally functions like one. I could potentially write a long list of Windows 10 screw-ups, but I digress from my current issue.

    On Windows 7 I could have my speakers on but when I plugged in my earphones the sound automatically switched the speakers to the earphones. With Windows 10 I have to manually change the default setting from speakers to earphones and back again when I'm
    done using the earphones. The speakers work when they are set as default but the earphones do not work and vice versa when the earphones are set as default. It seems like it should be a very simple fix, but nothing I've tried has worked. Any suggestions
    would be welcome.
