Speakers not working for games

[FestiveVirus]

Sound doesn't come from speakers when playing games but from the tv. Not ideal for me. Notice that if I have both games and a video on, the video will come from the speakers but the game will come from the tv still. Please help.

If there is an option in the game to select it do that, or see if you can change the audio device (by clicking on the speaker icon in the bottom right and selecting it, assuming you're on Windows 10). If all else fails you can just go into sound properties and temporarily disable the TV speakers.

Do you have a Nvidia graphics card and did you recently update drivers? Mine will sometimes switch the sound from my speakers to the hdmi links sound when I update drivers and I don't figure it out until i'm in game and have to go back and switch it.

I fixed it! Turns out I just had to restart the game... I hate myself sometimes.

Glad it was something simple. We all get brain cramps, nothing to worry about.
