    Envy 15t-j000 Headphone volume not adjusting automatically

    I have the Envy 15t-j000 running Windows 8.1.

    When I have my laptop speakers on at 80% volume, I'd like it to automatically go down to say 30% when I plug in my headphones i.e. volume profiles are attached to the speaker and headphones separately. When I unplug my headphones, the speaker volume should go back to 80% (or whatever I set it at).

    This used to be the case on my old laptop running Windows 7, but I can't figure out how to change this on the Envy 15t. I'm also not sure if it's an HP driver issue or a Windows 8.1 setting. It seems to be due to the fact that there is only 1 playback device "Speakers / HP" and not separate "Speakers" and "Headphones" as it was on my old laptop.

    Anyone else have this problem?
