I want to set up my speakers so I can listen to Youtube or Music without headphones, but I also want to be able to solely use my headphones when playing games and such. How can I do this?

If your speakers have a headphone jack in them you're set. If your computer has a front audio jack (and you're using the back for speakers) you'll probably have to tweak the settings a bit (go to control panel>sound) but I know in Win7 it usually switches automatically to the front jack when you plug something in.

I use Win7, and in the second case it normally works it out itself, but if not, your headphones should be enabled and default in Playback, and your speakers should just be enabled. Plug in the headphones when you want to listen to them and you're golden.

Ok, I completely forgot about headphone jacks in the speakers >.> But I need the microphone jack as well, so I suppose I can just plug in when I need to and such. Fairly obvious; my day has been pretty off >.>

 

Thanks for the help!
