I got a pair of sennheiser zero headphones for gaming.  i also recently got an hp envy phoenix pc.  when i have wow open everything works great.  my default audio is to speakers/headphones IDT high definition audio CODEC and i can hear my game.  when i open vent or teamspeak the default audio changes to digital output (s/pdif) IDT high definition audio CODEC and the speakers/headphones become disconnected.  In teamspeak the default audio is set as speakers/headphones and in the sound window in windows it is also set as default, except when it magically disconnects.  i have windows 8.1 and do not have a sound card.  headphones are connected to the mic and headphone jack on front of pc.  (green and red) and not to the black optical out on rear i/o.  

 

why is my default sound changing on its own and how do i fix this.

Windows has both a "default device" and a " default communication device" (should be a drop down arrow on the button).

You want both set to the same thing.

Okay, go into the sound properties and check out the tab about calls or VoIP. Set it to do nothing when a call is made.

Sorry if this sounds obscure, not at a PC nor do I have Windows 8.

i think i might just try getting a 3.5mm extension and plug in to the jack on the rear io.  ty for your speedy replies.  when i disable the digital output is still disconnects the speakers headphones and it just doesnt have sound at all.  and the voip is set to do nothing.  tyvm for the ideas :)
