Can anyone help me with this little issue I'm having? ...

I got some new headphones which use the sound and mic jacks on the side of my laptop. When I plug it in my laptop continues playing sound through its speakers instead of switching to the headphones. I can change this if I set the headphones as the default sound device. This works until I unplug my headphones, when the laptop still tries to play through the headphones (which are no longer plugged in) instead of switching to the speakers. I have to set speakers back as the default device for it to work. Any way I can make it so it switches automatically?

Oh and I've just noticed that it doesn't even recognise the microphone part of the headset


It should automatically o.O.

Is it overall sound that is affected or by a certain program? If its program, I know like Axon I use I had to relog in order to get sound through my headset.

If not - did you try control -> Sound settings -> recording tab? I remember having to fiddle in there once before to get sound working once :x. You might have to disable something or enable something.
