Using headphones and speakers

[Jimbo612]

I have a Dell Inspiron 620 and would like to use headphones without going into setting and changing the default. Is there a way to do that. I can currently set the default to speakers or headphones but not both. My speakers plug into the back of the desktop and headphones plug into the front.

Soon as you plug in the headphones the system should disable the speakers and work with the headphones. If it does not switch automatically you can look for a newer sound card driver from Dell.
