Arthur dent Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've just bought speakers for my pc they are plugged into the back of the pc and my headphones are plugged into the front is there a way to have them both connected at the same time just now the speakers don't work if the headphones are connected cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutsch Par Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think it's either/or because they both use the audio output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donj Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Most pc's,phones etc switch when they see something plugged in to the headphone sockets.The logic being that you want to listen on headphones and not annoy others.I doubt very much that you can change it but it might just be possible on a pc although I've never tried to find out how.I'll nose about and see if I can find a way.

donj Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 That is possibly an approach that may help but first try these.Check to see if your headphones are set to be used as the default *Communication* device instead of the default device, or if both devices are set to default. If so, make the headphones default, so that Windows will use them only when they are plugged in.Check with volume settings. 1. Right click on the speaker icon in taskbar and select volume control options. 2. put a check mark on "All devices currently playing sound". 3. Make sure you have "The default communication device unchecked".4. place a check mark on both speakers and headphones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIXD-D42vZ4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguinePar Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 How about getting a splitter? Plug it in, then plug both the headphones and speakers into that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
