Hi! So I've been using Win10 for a while now, I've got speakers connected to the PC with realtek drivers and until recently I used to just plugin my wireless headset (ps4 gold headset) and it always recognized and switched automatically. Same when I unplugged the usb thing it went back to the speakers.

now for some reason it won't do it anymore, so every time I plug in the headset I have to go into playback devices, disable the speakers manually and set it to the headset, then after I even have to troubleshoot to get the realtek speakers back because theyre not even in the list... so super annoying and time-consuming when this used to be done automatically.

any ideas on what might be the problem would be much appreciated.
thanks!
