Hello. Recently, my monitor broke and so I had to buy a new one. I've found that when I plug it in, my headphones, which are plugged into my PC, my monitor gets headphone priority over my PC. My monitor has a headphone jack, but only one, and my headphones have a green cable for audio, a red cable for microphone, and a USB for lights. Is there a way I can make my PC get priority over my monitor with headphones? (im using a samsung curved monitor)

    Open Sound Settings and set the desired one as "Set as default device".

    Hi @dannyisthedog ,

    azure-monitor tag needs to be added if the question is related to Azure Monitor but as this question is not related to it so removing it.

    Just FYI, these are the currently supported products in this Microsoft Q&A platform. Going forward, please refer it and add the question related tag so that tag related SME's would be able to view the question and can provide insights.
