Restarting programs to get sound through headphones.

Here's the deal, I built my computer a few months ago and at first what i was able to do is have my little 2.1 system plugged in the back and whenever i wanted to go with headphones i would just plainly plug them in the front headphone port. I think after I installed a new Radeon 4870 driver is when I wasn't able to just plug my headphones in the front anymore, I would have to plug them in before I started whatever program that involves sound. So I was listening to music on my speakers and for instance plugged in my headphones then went to go watch some youtube videos, my music would still be on my speakers and youtube would be in my head. BTW my system specs are all below, thanks!
 
initially, you had it lucky, now you have it normal.

With Vista (i assume you have vista because of the issue) if you change the sound output, you either have what you explain, or you have to change the default sound device through the sound manager in control panel.
