Windows 10: 2nd screen - how to set speakers as primary when turned on

I've set my TV as my 2nd monitor, display works fine. But everytime I want the sound to play on my TV, I'll have to go to sound settings, and set my TV as primary sound. When I turn off my TV, I have to manually set my pc speakers as primary again. Which is becoming kinda annoying.

Is there a way to set my TV speakers as primary when it's turned on, and when it's turned off to go back to my pc speakers automatically?

merge 2nd MS acct as alias then replace primary - but already taken. What?!

It turns out that I have two Microsoft Live accts one of which is recognized as my primary. I thought the 2nd was an alias. Turns out it is not. It seems to be linked somehow to my original Live accts email, but it is not, apparently, an alias.

When I try to add an alias (the 2nd email acct) to my Live / MS device login acct I receive "This email address is already taken. Please try another."

So, how do I merge this 2nd email acct into my alias' list? My objective is to replace my primary with this 2nd email.

 

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?

Hi Rachael,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I suggest you try the steps listed below and check if it works. This issue could be because of the Headphones BT SPEAKER Stereo being set as default. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Pair the speaker with your PC.
  
• Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar and choose
  Device Manager.
  
• Expand Sound, video, and game controllers
  and right click on your Bluetooth speaker (BT SPEAKER Stereo).
  
• Choose Disable and acknowledge the confirmation popup. Wait for the screen to refresh.
  
• Right click on the same device again and Enable.
  
• Exit Device Manager and see if the issue persist.
  

Regards,
