Audio only sending to Speakers not Headphones, when replugged in

I’ve run into an issue on M1 MacBook pros running Sonoma and Tahoe where:

if I’m playing a video with sound sent to headphone jack out I hear it in the headphones, but if I then unplug the 3.5mm jack, the sound gets sent to laptop speakers, BUT when I plug in the headphone jack in again…the sound doesn’t return to the jack. Even when I toggle the sound output settings under sound settings.
Consequently I have to restart VDMX for it to send audio to Headphone out.

Anyone else encountering this? Any Workarounds without a restart?
It’s troublesome when I need to go back and forth from my laptop, to another audio device.

VDMX should be defaulting to whatever your system is using. Could you capture a screen recording of how you are changing your audio settings while VDMX6 is open?

Thanks
