    Fewer clicks to change audio output?


    Hello!I am fairly new to Windows 11 and was learning the keys to toggle audio devices quickly. At first it was left clicking the audio button next to the time in the bottom right, and then selecting the audio output I wanted to switch to. Now I have to right click the audio, select one of 3 options 2 of which do the same thing and then a window opens in which I can change settings and then close. Is there anything I can do to revert to the old way? Thanks!

    :)

  2. No Audio Output Device is Installed

    Hi,

    You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

    2. Select "playback devices".

    3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

    5. Save the changes.

    Let us know the result.

    No audio output: Win 10 Pro

    Hi Nelson,

    We would like to know more about your concern regarding the audio output of your computer. Have you received any error messages? After checking the audio drivers on the

    I would suggest you to check again the Device Manager and follow the steps below:

    • In the Control Panel, remove the given sound software
    • Remove also the sound driver of the computer in the Device Manager
    • Restart the computer
    • Open Device Manager and click Scan for hardware changes
    • If there are no audio device that can be detected by the computer, you can update the chipset driver from the manufacturer's website.

    Please keep us posted for us to assist you further.
