iTunes is the only program on my PC with Windows 10, that won't automatically switch to speakers when headphones are removed, or vice versa. If I want to switch, I have to turn the program off, then start it again with the headphones either plugged in (to switch to headphones) or unplugged to switch to speakers.
I am hoping there is some solution to this, as it is rather annoying.
Windows, Windows 6
I FINALLY found a solution that not only addresses the question asked (instead of some other imaginary one), but actually works. Yay!!!! Changing to Direct Sound and re-starting iTunes actually solved this problem that has been bugging me for years.

Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect). In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
