  1. Sound started changing devices while watching a show


    I have a laptop that has Win 10 home as the OS. I have a tv connected via HDMI for viewing. Sound is played on tv.

    Last night while watching a show on Hulu, the laptop started playing the commercials through the laptop internal speakers, but the show itself played through the tv as normal.


    What would cause the commercials to play on a different device??

    Could this be a Hulu or browser issue??

    :)

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Sound started changing devices while watching a show :p

  3. start up sound not changing

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    The option to change the sound for Windows Logon and Logoff is ideally hidden from the list in Sound Options by default.

    However, although not recommended, if you want the option for customization, you can make couple of changes in the registry to enable the option.



    I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to fix the issue.



    Step 1

    Registry modification

    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully.
    For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/322756/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows

    1. Open the run command, type in regedit and hit
      Enter.
    2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/AppEvents/EventLabels/WindowsLogon.
    3. Open the WindowsLogon folder.
    4. Double click on ExcludefromCPL key.
    5. Change the value from 1 to 0. Click on OK


    Step 2

    1. Open the Control Panel > Sound > Click on
      Sound tab.
    2. Scroll down and select Windows Logon Entry.
    3. Click Browse to search your computer for a replacement sound.
    4. Shut down the device.
    5. Restart the device and check the status of the issue.




    Please keep us updated about the status of the issue.

    roku television started hearing typing sound while watching hulu

    Hi Etcgl,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    If you are using Roku to mirror windows based device on TV, then follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows and
      R key together on your Keyboard.
    2. Type Control and hit enter.
    3. Click on Hardware and sound> click on Sound.
    4. Click on Playback > check the particular device you are using.
    5. Right click on the device, disable and enable it again.
    If that doesn’t work,
    I would suggest you to contact Roku support, as the issue is related to Roku.
    Please refer the Roku support.

    For information about protection on Windows 10, you can refer this Microsoft

    Hope it helps.
