Recently I had to get a new hard drive for my laptop because the other one failed, usually my laptop would display every sound into my headphones, now instead of speakers and headphones a new audio drive called communications headphones, and only some sounds will go into the headphones and most will go out speakers, this happens mostly when I open Skype, I have tried setting communications headphones as default device but it keeps getting set back to default communications device. I am frustrated with this, any help?

EDIT: I had to play around with the default options, now when I test it the speakers go into the headphones as well as the communications headphones, apparently communications headphones have to be unchecked as a default device.
