Windows 10: Windows 11 speakers

Hi How do I get windows to recognise automatically when I plug in my speakers with an RCA jack.for some reason if I choose speakers there are no sounds so I have to select headphones. If I unplug the speakers from the speaker/ headphone jack the sounds play from the laptop. But when I plug the speakers back into the speaker/headphone jack it still asks me to choose either speaker or headphones each time. Is there any way to get windows 11 to automatically select headphones when I plug the speaker into the speaker/headphone jack.

:)

 

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
