I have my headphones plugged in, just normal out of the box headphones but when i play ANY video game they stop working. I’m talking i’m watching youtube and its fine but the second I alt + tab to don’t starve it comes through my speakers. I have attempted to update the drivers but it says there isn’t any new ones, and I have made sure that the headphones are set to default in the sound panel but it still isn’t helping Edit: forgot to mention that I can’t change the speaker volume with headphones plugged in, so even my if my headphones are muted if i switch to a game it keeps playing at whatever volume the speakers are at. Update (04/02/2019) I didn’t know that there is a sounds driver and an audio driver so i was just trying to update sounds when i needed to update audio… it works now
search your settings for app specific audio. Make sure you dont have games set to default to the speakers.
