Can't change default playback device on Windows 10

I changed the default playback device from speakers to headset, but sound is still coming from speakers.

In this case, the default device is headset, but as you can see, the green indicator shows that sound is coming from speakers.

This was working in the past, but a few days ago I noticed this.

Solution 1:

There's a known bug with Windows 10 and Via HD audio.

My report of it is here (MS external site, might get on a freaking loop because of cookies... or die in a BSOD because why not). Long story short: It won't work flawlessly on Win10 as of today. Current status is: one might connect headphones and sound comes out of them but sound still comes out of speakers.

The default won't change from one to another. The recommendation is to remove any previous audio drivers and update drivers to something that kinda works on Win10.
