So I started recording my songs. That is, songs I sing. I have a bit less than forty recorded. However, as of today -- not yesterday, when everything was behaving normally -- I can only hear the songs I recorded, period, no other sound files, and only when I have the headphones plugged in.
Previously, if I unplugged the headphones, the speakers would work normally. I have checked what I know to check: connections, volume/mute settings. I know something changed somewhere because when I test the speaker jack a new dialog box comes up I've never seen before. It's a RealTek settings popup I've never ever ever seen before asking me whether I've plugged in a headphone, a line out, or a rear speaker. By clicking around in its settings, I was able to tell it to stop muting the speaker when the headphones are plugged in (though I must reiterate that the problem is not when the headphones are plugged in, it's when they are not). No change to the basic problem. I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting this.
