The entry-level version of the Inspiron 15 7000 gaming notebook from June 2017 lacks the higher-end hardware complement of its pricier siblings. The battery life puts many other laptops—gaming or not—to shame.

headphones plugged in but still coming from the speakers

I have my headphones plugged in, just normal out of the box headphones but when i play ANY video game they stop working. I’m talking i’m watching youtube and its fine but the second I alt + tab to don’t starve it comes through my speakers. I have attempted to update the drivers but it says there isn’t any new ones, and I have made sure that the headphones are set to default in the sound panel but it still isn’t helping

Edit: forgot to mention that I can’t change the speaker volume with headphones plugged in, so even my if my headphones are muted if i switch to a game it keeps playing at whatever volume the speakers are at.

Update (04/02/2019)

I didn’t know that there is a sounds driver and an audio driver so i was just trying to update sounds when i needed to update audio… it works now

Hi Nick

On Device Manager, what is your audio manufacturer?

i suggest you to update your graphic card drivers and BIOS, try this solution if it works.

what is your headphone model btw?

search your settings for app specific audio. Make sure you dont have games set to default to the speakers.
