Headphone jack/on board speaker issue
I'm guessing that it's probably just a compatibility issue... or just how it is, but I'm curious:
I updated my laptop from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro a while back. It started out as just a minor inconvenience, but it's getting to be very annoying. When I plug in my external speakers (via the headphone jack) or my headphones, Windows doesn't automatically switch the sound output to the headphone jack. I have to manually switch it ("Manage Audio Devices"). The same is true for the reverse, when I unplug my headphones.
Is there any way around this, or is it likely an issue with the compatibility of my sound card?
Please and thank you!
