Voice chat comes out of wrong output in fortnite
While playing Fortnite, I have two audio devices that can output audio. My laptop, and my monitor. My laptop is plugged over HDMI to the monitor.
Problem is, I dont want to use the monitor for sound, only for display. The Game sounds (such as music, Sounds effects) output through my laptop. But voice chat, output through the monitor.
In settings, whenever I try to change "Voice chat output" to Laptop, and apply, when I re go in settings, it changed to "Default".(Which is the monitor)0
Why isnt it letting me output voice chat through the same output as the game sounds? I want to use my headphones connected to the laptop.
I cant use only the laptop sinse the screen is broken
EDIT: Looking at my monitor, there is no output for heaphones only input. (For mics) (Audio IN)
Solution 1:
This has happened to me quite a bit as well, the main issue I had was that it was resetting to default constantly.
The way I fixed this was opening my computer settings, and setting the audio device that I want as the "default".
After I upgrade my graphics card, it sets the monitors speakers as default as well as my actual speakers.
Going into Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound devices, and right clicking and setting the preferred audio device as default will fix the issue.
Solution 2:
The way I fixed it was going into sound and disabling the wrong output.then if it changes to default, you can just set the audio you want as default
