Windows 10: App Volume Default wont change

Greetings:


I am having an audio issue. I have Windows 10, sound card AMD GX 570.


Problem: If I don't have my speakers turned on when I start the computer my apps (ex. steam, browsers (all), music) won't play. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver as per my graphic/sound card tech help people. When I click the speaker icon and slide the sound volume, I get the bong sound. But still no sound from any apps. When I run the troubleshooter, no issues found. I only have my speakers set as default. No other devices are listed or hidden. I am not sure how this was done previously, but the sound was being routed to my monitor, but this was disabled and no longer being listed as an option. On the speaker icon, only Speakers (2-Realtek High Def.) is listed. There is no other option.


What I did notice is that in the sound - App volume and device preferences on the option for the sound system, it says Default. The master is set to the Speakers with no option of default.


Under the app:


System sound is set to 95 -- Output is Default ( no other options are given)

Then I have Chrome and Edge listed under that and I am given options of Default and Speakers.


When I choose Speakers for the chrome and edge, still no sound, but the volume bar in a different area is saying that sound is coming through.


How can I change the app system sound to speakers?


Under Mange sound devices, the only device that is listed is the Speakers. I hit test and I get the bong sound. It is enable.


So what is the default??? The only place I can find the default is in the Sound under playback, and it only lists the Speakers.


Help.. Thanks

Changing default app won't stick


Hi all
I am trying to give Windows Photo Viewer all its (file extension) defaults

I have tried two ways to set Windows Photo Viewer as default:

Control Panel / Default Programs / Set your default programs / Windows Photo Viewer
Whatever I do, windows does not let me assign more that two defaults to Windows Photo Viewer. e.g. jpg cannot be assigned.





Setting / System / Default apps
When I click Photo Viewer chose a default, a list pops up, but it does not contain Windows Photo Viewer.





Also I tried to set jRiver as the default for Video Player. It does appear in the list and I can select it in the list, but it will not appear as the default Video Player.

If I chose Photos as the Photo Viewer app, it appears as the default for both Photo Viewer and Video Player.

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here?

 

Cannot change the default apps by using control panel

Original Title: Cannot change default apps.

As said, I cannot change the default apps by using control panel > ... > Default Apps tab.

I cannot change any of the default programs. I use paint.net to edit/view photos and I cannot set it to the default program even though it is on the list, it does not change and i'm stuck with the default photo viewer. This happens with any other app actually,
I cannot change the default music player there, nor browser or anything.

I followed these steps as suggest by a microsoft engineer, post 2, and later on, no avail.

photo app in windows 10 wont load

my photo app wont open, and I cant uninstall it for it does not come up in the apps list in the settings. But it is in the all apps list.

When I have tried to reinstall it from playstore it says already installed. But wont open, and the new Twinui default photo view app wont open any jpeg files it say "class not registered".

I have followed other suggestions of troubleshooting, and system scan with no results.

Any suggestions?
