Generally, your internal speakers on your computer will be labeled as speakers, if there are more than one try them and see what happens.

SMARTboards are seen as USB Sound Device.

On Student Laptops, if they want to use headphones, it's labeled as Headphones (Realtek...)

Note - If you are playing sound from a web browser, sometimes you need to close it and open it again before it will pickup on the sound output change.
