Hi All,
I have a Dell Inspirion 15 notebook (Inspirion 3521-3829) running Windows 8.1 and I want to play sound through both the inbuilt laptop speakers and through a headset. At the moment when I plug in a headset all sound automatically plays through headset and not through built in speakers. I cannot find a setting to change this anywhere in Windows.
I posted in the Windows 8 forum asking this question and I got a reply saying that there is an option in the Realtek HD Audio Manager to either either mute (default) or not mute the speakers when a headset is plugged in. However the screenshot accompanying this reply looked nothing like what I have on my laptop. I tried re-installing my Realtek Audio driver but nothing changed.
The original thread is located at: http://www.eightforums.com/sound-audio/62571-playback-audio-through-both-inbuilt-external-speakers.html
If anyone knows how to route audio playback through both built in speakers and headset jack, that would be great.
Thanks.
