HDMI sound effect issues
When I connect my PC to my TV I'm having an issue where the music comes from my TV speakers fine but certain sound effects come out of my PC speakers. I want all the sound from the game to only come out of my TV. I tried disabling my PC speakers and the game won't run without them enabled it says. "directsound create failed". I also set my TV speakers as default and that didnt fix it either. Is there a fix for this?

Sounds like a global set up issue. Have you tried the same set up with different games, and all is working? I have my TV set up directly to my PC via HDMI, and then even with a soundbar, and all is working fine

Yeah SA2 is the only game that does this for me. I know others who have also had the same issue with it.

So how did they fix it?

Did this ever get resolved? Having the same issue. Already tried reinstalling and completely wiping the thing from my laptop and still the problem persists, and it does some to be SA2 only.

EDIT: I've found a workaround in the 45 minutes since I posted. I was trying to use the app router in Windows 10 to do this. Originally setup Default Audio Device was my laptop, then I was trying to route the game to my TV. Resulted in music and voices on tv and sound effects on laptop.

NOW: I have it that the TV is the default audio device and everything except the game is rerouted to the laptop speakers and the game just uses default. Sound effects, music, and voices all coming from the TV.

I also lied: SA1 also had the same issue. Gonna see if it's fixed now.
