Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my audio. Anytime I switch between output devices the audio will stop playing entirely. Youtube videos will buffer indefinitely until I refresh the page. Any games i'm playing require a client restart in order to get audio back.

I'm using a Sound Blaster Z sound card and am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. If it matters.

Thanks in advance for any help and I apologize if this is in the wrong thread.

When you switch the devices you may have to go into Control Panel>Sound>Playback and disable the device that is NOT being used at the moment. On my 990FX Sabertooth board that is what I have to do when switching between USB and standard connection headphones.
