Frank is correct that the speaker is chosen over headphones and SPDIF as the
default if no other endpoint has been explicitly set to be the default (either
by inf or the cpl). However, if your inf has a SetupPreferredAudioDevices
entry for these endpoints, then each will be set in turn to be the preferred
device and when installation is complete the default device will be the last
one processed. The processing order follows the ids of the bridge pins. In
other words if the SPDIF, speaker and headphone bridge pins are 1, 2, 5,
respectively, then the headphone will end up being the default.
The solution is to remove SetupPreferredAudioDevices from the inf, or reorder
the pins.

The Vista heuristics should pick the speaker automatically. There may be some
problem in how your device is describing itself. For starters, you should
confirm that the form factor property
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679150.aspx) in the endpoint's
property store is Speakers.

Hi,
I have an audio device which exposes a SPDIF, speaker and headphone endpoints
as rendering endpoints. Currently, after a fresh installation, the headphone
endpoint is always set as the default endpoint by the OS. Is there any way in
which I can specify for the speaker endpoint to be selected as the default
endpoint instead?
Thanks
KS
