Headphones as playback device.
Well...I'm having this problem with a few of my games - Counter Strike Source and Half Life 2 Deathmatch. The problem is that whenever I try to change the Speaker Configuration to Headphones, it always reverts back to 7.1 Speakers after I go back in the options to check.
This seems to be related to my Windows sound settings since whenever I change my Speakers Configuration in the Sound window to like Stereo or Quadraphonic or 5.1 or 7.1 Surround, the option the games change respectively to 2 Speakrs, 4.1, 5.1, 7,1 Speakrs.
I don't think that the 2 things should be related meaning I should be able to change my option in game to whatever I want despite what I've chosen in the Windows settings.
Now, since I don't think there is a way to make my game not know what I've set the windows audio settings to, I need to find a way to get my headphones recognized by the OS and have "Headphones" instead of "Speakers". Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that. I've tried to look for a guide or figure it out myself but with no luck.
This is what I can see in the Sound Options:
I think I've seen while I was looking for a way to fix this, that other people have the "headphones" in their Sound playback tab, but I don't...
