Windows 10: Audio switching off

I use an HDMI hub with 5 output ports to view on a Samsumg 55 inch Smart TV

One port from the PC

One from Cable Box

One from Firestick

One from Xbox 1

Fifth port unused


My problem is, that when I switch from Windows 10, to any of the other devices, the audio on the PC disappears

Every time I switch back to Windows, I need to reset the Audio back to Samsung HDMI Audio.

Any help appreciated

:)

Problems switching audio devices

Hi toiren,



Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.



To understand the issue better, I would like to know what is the make and model of the computer?



I appreciate the steps you have perform, let’s try simple methods and check if this helps.

Method 1.

I would suggest you to run sound audio troubleshooter, it will automatically detect the problem and fix it. Follow the below method.

• 
  Press Windows key + R and click on
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on View by: category and click on
  Small icon.
  
• 
  Now click on troubleshooting and click on
  Hardware and Sound.
  
• 
  Click on Playing Audio and Click on Next button.
  

If the issue still persist, try the below method:



Method 2.

I suggest you to update the audio driver and check.

• 
  Press Windows key + X and select
  Device manager.
  
• Now click on Audio input and outputs and right click on it and
  update the software.

If the issue still persist, I recommend you to go to the computer manufacturer website and download the latest updated sound adapter for Windows 10 and install the same. If the available driver is not for Windows 10 try installing the
driver in compatibility mode.

• 
  Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties.
  
• 
  Select Compatibility tab.
  
• 
  Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.
  
• 
  Let the driver install and then check the functionality.
