    Sound plays through speakers when Headphones..


    Strange problem! I have some sounds that play through my speakers when headphones are plugged in. For example, if I run Skype, the Skype will play through the headphones (properly), but iTunes will play through speakers, as will anything else.

    This also happens when playing Borderlands - I have to unplug and replug headphones to get it to go back!

    What gives? How to fix this?

    I have IDT HDA as my sound card. Windows forced me to install NVIDIA HDA as well, so I have 2 sound drivers - NVIDIA HDA and IDT HDA AUDIO CODEC.

    Plug in your headphones and go to Control Panel>Sound and set the default device to the headphones.
