I run Windows 7 and alternate my sound source between Speakers - installed as Realtek Hi Def Audio and a USB Headset-Plantronics Wireless. It used to be that when I plugged in the headset, the speakers would mute automatically-just the way I wanted. Somehow that got changed. Now I have to use the Audio Manager to turn the Speakers on or off. I don't know how it got to be this way, but it happened some time ago.

It's no big deal. The devices all work fine. I'm just wondering if anyone knows, off the top of their head, how one goes setting up that auto-mute I used to have. I can't find a switch in Audio Manager-or I might be looking and not seeing.

Thanks

Hi Barry,
I'm not sure on this but can't you set the default sound devices within FSX itself under "Settings>other settings>Sound"?

Depending on audio cards (add-on and built-in), there is a setting to auto-mute speakers when a headphone is detected on the front jack. This should be in audio settings, somewhere.

If you update your audio driver (possibly automatically using windows update), this setting may be changed, sometimes.

Of course I can't find it on mine right now to show you.
