I'm trying to use the built-in Windows audio on a laptop with Studio One, no outboard interface. The built-in speakers work fine, but if I plug in headphones, sound continues on the laptop speakers but there's none in the headphones. I've tried switching the Audio Device setting in S1 back and forth to Windows Audio, plugging/unplugging the headphones.

Here's the thing: sometimes the "2nd device" (headphone jack) shows up in the control panel, but often it doesn't. When it does, headphones can be activated and work fine. Is there a way to get it to recognize this consistently?
