Hi,
I've run into this trouble in class. Some computers only enable the audio device if a headphone is plugged in - obvious reason being that you don't want an entire class running YouTube over the speakers. However, it's not very nicely handled in Windows: click on the system tray icon if there's no audio, and it will try to "look for an audio device", which fails. I had to ask the entire class to do the following instructions on day 1 of them using E-Prime.
Go To Edit > Experiment > Devices, Unselect the Sound (enabled by default since E-Prime 2 even if there is no sound card), Apply, OK.
FWIW, just plugging in some headphones also works for us - windows will immediately enable the device. I do not quite understand why the unplugging of a cord needs to disable the device (after all, no cable means no sound anyway?), but so it goes.
Best,
Michiel
