No speaker sound, but sound output through headphones

Hello,

Yesterday, I watched a program online using my headphones.
Since then, I have no sound coming from the speakers; I can only hear through the headphones.

When I hover over the sound icon at the bottom right, it says "speakers/headphones: 22%" whereas I believe it wasn't like that before. I wonder if this is related, if there is some sort of mix-up that is disrupting the functioning of the speakers?

I opened the "sound" tab under "playback," and there are only two icons:
- speakers/headphones, which is selected and is the default device,
- headphones (real-time), which shows a white phone in a green square and is also the default communication device...

I tried restoring but it doesn't change the problem. I attempted the audio troubleshooting (playing an audio file), but it does not detect any issues. On the "speakers/headphones" line, it says "speaker/headphone... the connector for this device is located at the front of the computer, the same for the headphones (real-time).

I don’t know what else to try; I know almost nothing about computers...

If someone can help me, that would be nice.

Thank you.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 15.0.1

Right-click on "Speakers / headset" and choose "Set as default communication device."

If that doesn't change anything, uninstall the IDT driver (Start Menu > Control Panel > Uninstall a program) and then reinstall the driver.

Yes.

Restart the PC between uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT driver.

It hasn't changed anything... I still only have sound in the headphones. And the following display when I hover the mouse over the sound icon "speakers/headphones: 67%".
