Why can't I change audio output when cast to device?

I have a problem when I cast my streaming to a TV via WiDi, I want to change the audio out put from the system.

Steps:

1. Connect to video streaming eg. Youtube

2. Cast the video streaming to my TV via WiDi (Actiontec)

3. Open playback device and try to change my audio output from TV to my laptop

Question here:

Win10 is not allowed to change my audio output frommy TV to my native speaker

is it a bug?

 

Cast to Device (TV) fails: Unexpected Device Error

Doing a little searching reveals that the only way to cast music directly from my PC to a TV would require me to use the Chrome browser and select Cast to ChromeCast enabled device. I don't have one of those so that way is out. However, Casting to my TV using Miracast does work so is my only option. On PC Right-click MP3 file Select Cast to Device Select the SmartTV in the list Media Player launches and starts playing MP3 On TV PC desktop shows on screen Audio from MP3 is heard on TV speakers Note, if sound from MP3 plays is heard on PC instead of TV then switch the audio output from Speakers to Digital Output.

 

How to make Cast to Device the default Audio Output? Location of Cast to Device?

Hi,

Kayece here, An Independent advisor and a user just like you. I will be happy to assist you today.

I understand that your Cast to Device is not your default audio device and you wanted to know the location file of your Cast to Device.

May I ask what is your cast device model or cast app name and version you have?

Can you go to your device manager and expand your audio inputs and outputs driver? Then screenshot and upload it here.

Press Win key + X then click device manager.

In the meantime, can you perform the following step to check if your audio output (TV, projector, or any other kind of external display) is on the Default Device?

*Press Win key + R > Type in mmsys.cpl and hit enter.

*Go to the Playback and Recording tab, and make sure your audio output is listed there as Default Device.

*If not, right-click on the audio output you wanted as a default device then click "set as Default Device".

*Check if the audio files play directly to your default audio.

For the file location, if you have the app, right-click on the app then click open file location and see if this goes to file folder.

Stay Safe!
