Hi, I am having audio issue with my new PC when using dual monitors.
Monitor 1 is 4K 60hz and set as monitor 1 in display settings.
Monitor 2 is 4K 144hz and set as monitor 2 in display settings and also set as main display.
I also have Logitech G635 gaming headset connected.
I use monitor 1 for watching Netflix/Youtube etc.
I use monitor 2 for gaming.
I am using the volume mixer in Windows 11
Monitor 1 is perfectly happy running audio through it from Netflix/Youtube.
I can run audio from either source (gaming or Netflix) through my G635's by selecting them in volume mixer.
I cannot get games to run audio through my Monitor 2 while monitor 1 is running audio via Netflix/Youtube.
If I set Monitor 2 to the game via volume mixer there is no audio at all, if I set it to default it plays audio through monitor 1.
I could just use my G635's when gaming but it kinda defeats the object of having a second monitor to have videos playing in the background.
I hope I'm just being a dingus and there's a simple solution but I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
