An audio device will also be listed under the“Sound, video and game controllers”
category in Device Manager. As Windows will only support one audio output at a time,
this will override the default sound card on the computer (if any), resulting in no audio
from the computer speakers. Audio will only output over HDMI.
If you wish audio to output from the computer speakers instead of HDMI, then you
must manually change the default audio device from the“Hardware and Sound”
settings in the Control Panel.
