Poking around again, I discovered that Dell mandates the the latest Realtek HD Driver be used with:

Waves MaxxAudio Pro which features CoreAudio by Apple Inc.

That is the app that asks whether I have Headphones or speakers connected every time.

That is - in my opinion - likely causing the problem(s).


Does anyone know anything about this?
