I am running XPPro/SP2 with all updates. I had a crash the other day (we
think it was overheating - the fan had died). Ayway, I can no longer get
sound to play through my speakers - everything plays through my USB headset
instead. I used to get only my Skype sound through the headset and all other
sounds went t the speakers. I thought there was a place to set that but I
can't find it?

Hi,

Control Panel/Sounds and Audio/Audio tab, check that you have the right
primary output (playback) device selected to be the external speakers.
