    Hey I have a important presentation tomorrow and I need to connect external speakers. The regular speakers work. The headphone device is still there and when headphones are plugged in, I can only hear stuff on them if I do a 'test' in Control Panel>Sounds. But when plugged in, music and video still plays through the original speakers

    ...sounds like the output isn't switching from speakers to headphones. Any ideas on how to fix? Driver issue (cause i have the latest one)? or is there a manual way to switch devices (even when i disable the speakers when the headphones are plugged it, sound still comes out the speakers)
