    I'm a bit confused on how to manage my sound output on my R3.

    I have a G930. To get output from the G930 (which is wireless), I put a USB dongle in my laptop. By default, all sounds go to the headset. If I turn the headset off, the sound still goes to the headset (obviously, the headset being off, I cannot hear it). Even if I plug a wired headset in the audio jack, the sound is still routed to the wireless headset, not to the wired headset.
    The only way to go back to normal is to unplug the USB dongle when using something other then the G930 and replug it when I want to use the G930.

    Is there a way to choose the output method between audio jack, wireless headset or speakers without having to plug/unplug?

    Thanks!
