Click on the speaker on the taskbar, if at the end of the title there is an ^ click on it and pick a different title.
*SOLUTION* how to switch between a headset and speaker without unplugging one device.
I had an issue where “Speakers (Real High Definition Audio) represented both my headset and my speakers. It was super frustrating because I had to always unplug my headset when I wanted to enjoy some music on my speakers.
its an easy fix, just click the “^” arrow on the bottom right on ur taskbar which should bring up all “hidden icons” in which you should hover over the bronze sound icon titled “Realtek HD Audio Manager” and double click
Next, with the audio manager open, click the “Device Advanced Settings” at the top right of the page then click “Make front and rear output devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously” under the “Playback device” tab.
Now you should have speakers and whatever else audio device you have, mine is titled “HD Audio 2nd Output”
Super easy transition between both sound systems should be accessible now!
