how to select the output audio speakers

To change the speaker output on Windows Media Player, you can try the following steps:

1. Open Windows Media Player.
   
2. Click on “Tools” and then “Options”.
   
3. Click on the “Devices” tab.
   
4. Click on “Speakers” and then “Properties”.
   
5. Select the audio device you want to use and click on “OK”.
   
6. You may also have to restart WMP for changes to take effect.
   

If the above steps don’t work, you can try changing the default sound device in Windows 11. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.
   
2. Click on “System” and then “Sound”.
   
3. Under the “Output” section, click on the “Choose where to play sound” setting.
   
4. Select the speakers, headphones, or headsets you want to use.
   

 

I can't use my TV's speakers as an output

Hi wkzrobert,



Welcome to the Microsoft community and thank you for asking your question in the community!

Based on your description, I understand that your Samsung TV is now not outputting sound as a speaker, and you have tried updating the drivers as well as reinstalling the device. I think you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Change the sound output device
  

1. Changing the speakers in Windows settings is easy. To do so, right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar. In the pop-up menu, select "Open Sound Settings".
   
2. The Windows Settings application will automatically open to the Sound settings page. In the top section labeled "Output", find the menu labeled "Choose where to play sound" and click once to expand it if necessary.
   
3. Below it, you will see a list of all the audio output devices detected by Windows 11. Click the circle button next to the device you want to use as audio output.
   

• Try replacing it with a DisplayPort or High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI).
  

Please let me know if I have misunderstood. Tell us the results and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you.



Best regards,

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.
