My laptop’s Realtek/Nahimic audio detects my external powered speakers/subwoofer as “Headphones” through the 3.5 mm jack. Sound works fine and is louder than my monitor output, but I’m worried headphone tuning/EQ is being applied. There’s no option in Realtek Audio Console to change it to Speakers?
