Hi, I'm wondering if anybody can help me
I want to play music (or any other audio playback) through both my inbuilt laptop speakers and external speakers which I plug in. I have found many instructions on how to do this on other forums but none of them seem to work on my laptop. At the moment my laptop automatically switches to playing through headphones when I plug them in and automatically switches back to inbuilt speakers when I unplug headphones. I have tried looking in "playback devices" but my headphones don't show up, even when plugged in. The only device that shows up is "Speakers, Realtek high definition audio" and this doesn't change when I plug in external speaker. The volume indicator next to this also doesn't change when I adjust the volume on my pc or press mute. Perhaps it is also important to mention that my laptop only has one audio jack.
Any help appreciated,
Thanks.
