My new headset arrived, and I got the Turtle Beach X12.
I've plugged it all in, and the sound is going through the headset.
How do I change it, so it goes through my speakers instead?

I've checked in Sound Panel or whatever you want to call it, which is what I always did with my previous headset.

Went there, and there's nothing about sound. I am running Windows 10, so it might be different.

on realtek standart is, that if you plug headphones in the frontpanel the backpannel get "muted" and you can only hear everything via frontpanel.

you can't even see the frontpannel in the sound-menu

you have at first use the realtek sound manager (see picture)

Ah I see. For some reason I assumed the wanted to use speakers in his monitor and not extra ones. Thus there is noch backpanel.
Edit: Nevermind me. I am talking shit. You are right.

yeah that would be the second option. if you disable front panel jack detection, than the soundcard will note mute the backpannel. but than you will listen to the same sound on headset and speaker...
