    Accidentally disabled my speakers


    I was trying to adjust some of my sound settings and I disabled both my headset sound and my external speakers. Now when I pull up my sound menu "playback devices" neither the headsets nor speakers are there.

    They were both visible/working before I disabled them. Where can I go to enable them again?

    Hello, Dbivian, welcome to the Seven Forums.

    Open Playback Devices, right click anywhere in the Select a playback device-area and check the option Show Disabled Devices.
