In the knowledge base I found a page kb./igelos-10.05/en/options-4259215.html which suggests the order of output should be USB, HDMI, Internal speaker. Reason is, the default now is internal UD3 Speaker even though a screen with build in speakers is connected through HDMI.

Click OK in the Properties window, and OK in the Sound window.Hi, I was wondering if someone knows how to manually set the default audio device priority. Click on the down arrow to open the drop-down menu of Playback through this device, and select your speakers as a secondary audio playback device.
Right click on it once again and select Properties. Right click on it again when it's enabled and select Set as Default Device. Right click on Stereo Mix and select Enable from the context menu. Now, you’ll be able to see a recording device named Stereo Mix (or Wave Out Mix, Mono Mix, etc.). Select Show Disabled Devices from the pop-up menu.

Set 4 devices which are Default Playback, Default Recording, Default Communication Playback and Default Communication Recording. "Notify when profile is triggered": keep if needed. "Also switch default device" and "Restore devices when trigger ends" are irreleavant here (have no effect when there is a single forced profile). On "Recording" tab don't select anything and uncheck two "Hotkey enabled" checkboxes. On "Playback" tab don't select anything and uncheck "Hotkey enabled" checkbox.
In order to set it up to only do that, install it, then open configuration and change following options: However, I found an open source program called SoundSwitch ( website | github) that can be configured to forcefully keep your desired audio device selected as a default. There is no way to disable that behavior in Windows 10 without third-party software.
