I got myself a X870 PRO RS recently.
I updated to latest BIOS and installed Windows11 and latest drivers.

I plugged headphones in read line-out & mic-in and it is working.

However, when I plug in speakers on the front header, sound only plays from the speakers.
I cannot find the switch to disable this behaviour in the audio device settings or the audio console.

On my previous system (based upon B450), the control panel had such an option.
My goal is to play sound on both outputs irrespective of whether the other output is plugged.

Thank you.

Hey Mati,
no I haven´t found a built-in solution.
I am using a workaround now where I switch between headphones and speakers by manually plugging their cables into an extension cord connected to the rear plugs.
