Hey,
so yesterday I did a refresh of my PC (full) and before I did,
I would have my speakers and my headset in the Playback Devices,
where I would enable or disable which ever one I was usning.

If I was chatting on Skype I would enable my headset and disable my speakers and vice versa.
however, there is no option, I have chcked for Disconnected and Disabled devices and still no luck,
it's not a USB but more just pink and green colour coded jacks,
does anyone have a clue what's happening?

- All updates for GPU and Soundcard aswell as Windows are up to date.
- The mic is working and is being picked up.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I've just a look about in Realtek Manager and I fixed it,

FIXED: At the top right of Realtek HD Audio Manager there is 'advanced' settings, click that and then I set 'playback Device' as the second option.Capture.PNG

Yes, good thing that control panel for Realtek drivers, windows one is too basic and knows to screw up many things.
