Windows 10: Output sound device disappears in Windows 10 when I turn on my TV.

I have my PC connected to a Yamaha AVR. This is on HDMI input # 2 on the AVR.


When I turn my TV on, I see the video output on the screen. I see my PC output on my TV.


But in Windows 10, under Sound settings, the output device for the Yamaha RX-V6A disappears. When I turn my TV off, the Yamaha RX-V6A re-appears.


When the output device for the RX-V6A disappears in Windows Sound Settings, I can't hear anything from my PC, to the passive speakers.

I used to have a Denon AVR, but I returned that.

When I had the Denon AVR, nothing like this happened. I could have the TV on or off, and the output device for the Denon would remain. If I had the TV on, then I could both see and hear what was on my PC, through my home theater speakers.

If I had the TV off, then I would hear what was being played on the TV, to my home theater speakers.

Windows 10 audio stutters regardless of driver or output used, more noticeable on the toslink and surround sound.

• What device are you using? A laptop or a computer?
• Its a desktop, i listed the components in the original post.
• Do you have an external speaker?From which device does the sound come out from? From the TV or from the device?
• I listed the outputs in the original post. The issue exists on all outputs and exists on the tv speakers, surround sound speakers, and headset.
• What other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• I have listed the troubleshooting steps that i can remember in the original post.

 

My audio output devices have disappeared from my HP laptop.

I have an HP laptop running Windows 10. My audio output devices have disappeared. Not just no devices installed, but no devices listed in Device Manager. Tried troubleshooting and still no devices found. Tried connecting USB speakers, but those were not
detected either.

Suggestions?

 

Sound output device will now randomly disappear

At random times (not on startup or anything, just while the computer is on at random times) the default sound output device will disappear, and I notice this happens in the moment because I suddenly have no sound. It gets fixed by going into sound settings,
troubleshooting, picking the monitor (where the sound is supposed to come from) and on the step where it says windows will play test sounds its suddenly fine again. This happens every day, sometimes twice a day and only started within the last 2 weeks. There
hasn't been a window update that I'm aware of and I haven't manually changed any settings.

On the day it first happened I tried disabling all the other sound "devices" (NVIDIA High Definition Audio, NVIDIA Virtual Audio, and the blue yeti microphone. Note these two NVIDIA audios aren't my monitor and I'm not sure why they're there, they produce
no sounds) from the up arrow when pressing the speaker in the bottom right as it would switch to my microphone as the sound device when the monitor disappeared. This hasn't helped however as now when the monitor disappears there is simply no sound device shown
(it is still fixed in the moment the same way as mentioned above).

My monitor is labelled ROG PG279Q (NVIDIA High Definition Audio) if that helps any.
