Sometimes I turn off the computer using the headsets, but I usually use the speakers more.
This would be a quality of life feature.

Yes. You can use NirSoft's SoundVolumeCommandLine utility. It's a freeware tool that allows the user to set, amongst many functions, the default playback device.
You'll want to use the /SetDefault command line parameter, as detailed in the tool's documentation.
Once you have created the command you need, simply create a 1-line batch file to call it, and then add that batch file to the Startup group in the Windows Start menu.

just wondering, can you tell me how to do this? I tried everything that is written just doesn't work for me.– jothCommented Jun 2 at 20:11

I don't have a Windows box available, but I think I published a demo using that tool a while back. Let me see if I can locate it and I'll give you the exact syntax I used. Commented Jun 2 at 21:20

I found what I needed to help you. If you're around right now, we can chat, and I can walk you through it. If you're not around, I'll post tips I think will help you. Commented Jun 2 at 21:33

Okay, you're not around, so here's what I recommend trying: use the
/SetDefaultcommand line parameter instead. If the name of the speakers does not contain spaces (it shouldn't), do not use quotes when specifying it after that parameter. After the name of the speakers, add a space, then specify1to indicate multimedia. You can also specifyallto indicate every audio type, but I recommend starting with1to get things working.

1It was exactly what I needed (I'm not that good at working in this area). Your reputation here is high I guess now I know why– jothCommented Jun 3 at 19:36
