You shouldn't have to go back and change the settings.
If there are still problems then do as I did and try looking through things (Only recommended if you are good at problem-solving and/or able to grasp the simple settings of a computer device). Audio playing through headphones and speakers at the same time I have this Acer Aspire E15 laptop and I plugged in some earbuds, when I did I tested the PC audio and sound came out of both the laptop speakers and the earbuds, I just want the sound to come through the headphones. Keep it highlighted and exit out after testing if the device (letter you highlighted) and your problem should be solved. Click B and let it play through for headphones output Click A and let it play through for both of your laptop speakers Same for the top circle (recording outlet). If the bottom circle is highlighted (Headphone outlet) then your laptop knows that your headphones are there. When it opens up you should see two circles at the very bottom, under the letters (A B C D).
Click Hardware and Sound and then Recording. I have seen a similar troubleshooting guide at and it worked really well for me.
