Laika Ravikumar Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi hope some of you clever people can help. I just got new pc with windows 10. Everything works fine. However, until yesterday I could choose whether to listen through headphones or if I disconnected them the sound came through the inbuilt speakers, For some reason and I have no idea what happened if I want to use the headphones I have to go into control panel and choose them as the default and if I want the speakers I have to make them the default. While this is not a big problem I just wondered if anyone could tell me what had happened still finding my way around windows 10. The headphones are plugged in to USB and if I make the speakers the default its NVDIA High Def Audio default communications device,. Thank you.

Paul Hexem Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'm having this problem myself. Filed a JIRA and done quite a bit of troubleshooting. As far as I can tell, SL doesn't support USB sound on Windows 10 unless it's the default device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devriv Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hello Laika :smileyhappy: Your system likely uses Realtek for audio, making the Nvidia audio driver unnecessary. As I* always update my card’s drivers manually, I don’t know if Nvidia’s updater auto-installs its audio driver. You should see “Realrek High Definition Audio” listed in Device Manager. If you also see “High Definition Audio Device”, that’s also a Realtek driver, a Windows-certified one. Some would recommend disabling the Nvidia HD audio driver in the device manager. I would recommend uninstalling it (under Programs), then unplugging the headphones and restarting the computer. I hope this helps. *I’m not an expert; building and repairing PCs has been a hobby.

steph Arnott Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I still can not understand why you filed a JIRA, it is a personal system issue, has nothing to do with LL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
