I have Win10 with a widescreen monitor and 1060 GTX card. I use Hue Sync to watch movies on my TV (which requires a computer). I've run an HDMI cable through the joists in the ceiling so that it comes out behind the TV. It is connected to an LG SoundBar (SB). When I want to watch a movie, I hit Windows + P and switch to "Second Screen Only". Then I accept the change on the TV, but Win10 always lists the SoundBar as the "default Communication device". I then have to open the Sound app and make the SB the default audio device, else I get no audio. Then everything works. Annoyingly, sometimes as soon as I launch Netflix/Crave/Prime via a browser, it switches back to my computer monitor. But once I switch it back a second time, it stays, Hue Sync works, and I can watch my movie in peace.
I've looked into a freeware app called Audio Switcher which I am going to play around with to see if I can hotkey the SB and make it default. Is there a tool which can do both? Ideally I would like a tool which allows for a hotkey which I can assign, something that will change the default audio as well as the display output with one hotkey.
Thanks.
