Ok, I have a new problem.
It's with my starcraft 2 and sound output when it is it.
Ill try to explain my problem best I can, if you need any more info lmk.


I have an HP Laptop. I use a pair of headphones when I use it. I use the headphones for all my programs, like youtube, twitch, SC2.

It all works well until I turn on SC2. As soon as i turn it on, ONLY Sc2 sounds will come out of my headphones, and all other sounds (youtube, itunes, twitch) will only use my laptop speakers as the output.
When i turn off sc2 again. everything switches back to my headphones.

I played with the sc2 sound settings but nothing has worked yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well if you want to hear the sound off your headphones just go in the control panel and in sound right click on speakers and disable them (you can activate them back later when you want to hear from speakers) this will force the music out of your headphones

thanks for the tip

anyone know how to perma fix it so i wont have to shut down speakers everytime?

Update your realtek drivers. That's a very odd problem and I've never heard that before but it doesn't surprise me considering Realtek is REAL-Garbage.

well i used the automatic driver updater last night and it said there was none, but it says last update was 2011?

after my shower ill go try to find it manually

/e if there is one

Go to your playback options -> Right click your headphones -> Properties -> Advanced -> un-check "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"


Should work fine now.

Do the same with your speakers.

O.o

tried it still wont work

could someone show me a way to phrase this question to google?

Might have to restart your PC to get the settings to apply.

This is the only thing that i can think of that would cause it to change devices like that.
