Can't change default sound output

I currently have a USB Plantronics headset plugged into my computer, but my primary output are my line-out speakers. However, no matter what settings I change, Adium is defaulting to playing sounds through the headset and not my speakers. Is there any work-around for this?

Of course, now it's working... bizarre.

That's odd. Good thing it worked out for you in the end.

Ah, after a bit of testing, I seem to have sorted it out. I'm using
PTHVolume, which displays a drop down menu of the audio source in my menu bar. When I change it through that, Adium doesn't seem to recognize it. However, if I open up the Sound Control Panel and change it, Adium switches its output.
It's odd, because all PTHVolume does
is change the output in the Sound Control Panel, just via an extra step.

Heh, that makes it even more strange.
Thanks for adding this information!

I'm having this same problem without finding a workaround. I don't have PTHVolume installed and use the sound control panel for it. No matter what I do, so long as a USB headset is plugged in, Adium's sounds go to the headset. Period. This happens with multiple accounts. I'm running Adium 1.3.2 on a G5 tower that runs OS X 10.4.11. And I have noe Xtras installed. It's a plain vanilla installation.
