This has solved more issues than I can count and is well worth a shot. If that didn’t work, restarting your computer is as good a solution as any. This will set your headphones as the default device while in use, but revert back to the speakers as default device when they’re unplugged. Once it’s selected, press “ set default” at the bottom of the screen. The one that shows “ready” when plugged in is your headphones, and you need to select and highlight that device.ĥ. This will indicate to you which “speaker” is actually your headphones.
Now you might need to plug and unplug your headphones. A new screen will open – select the Playback tab.Ĥ. Look at the top right corner where you’ll see the “related settings” section and select Sound Control Panel (something super strange, you can’t actually just search and find this on your computer).ģ. If you’re on a newer Windows 10 version:ġ. If this isn’t so, right click on your listed Headphones and set it as the default device. Your Headphones need to be set as the default device on your computer.A new screen will open -select the Playback tab.Right-click the Volume icon on the bottom right corner of the screen, and select Open Sound settings (If you see “ Sound Control Panel” here, you need to update to a newer Windows version).This is a relatively easy check and fix if need be.
If your PC isn’t setting your headphones as the default device when you plug them in, it can result in your speakers still playing the audio. Enable your headphones and set them as your default sound device.
If your PC is anything like mine, it’s like the black sheep in the family – always causing problems. If the issue happened when you plugged in your headphones to your PC, then there are a few possible causes and solutions. My problem took a bit more effort to uncover than a basic restart, so if you want to know exactly how to try the above solutions or what else could be causing the problem, keep reading. First, restart your computer if that doesn’t fix the problem, try updating your settings, audio drivers, or changing your default sound device, among other solutions. It could be your computer setting, a recent update, or a driver update. So, why are the speakers still playing when you plug in your headphones? What the heck?! Obviously, I went into problem-solver mode, and it seems this is quite a common issue. A strange thing happened to me the other day, I plugged in my headphones, and the sound continued to stream from my speakers.
