Why is sound muted when speaker is changed in Windows 10? [closed]

A couple months ago, my work issued Windows 10 laptop started muting the sound when the speaker is changed (e.g. plugin/unplug my headphones) and I have to manually unmute.

This appears to only be happening on my laptop and not any of my teammates’. I can’t find any setting that controls this but it’s very annoying.

Does anyone know why this is happening/how it can be fixed?

Please note this is work issued and don’t have full admin privileges so can’t uninstall drivers, etc.
