Win 10 audio issue after latest update

[Raendor]

Ok, so I've updated to the latest version and now have an annoying issue with the audio output. After this stupid update, my audio output defaults to the monitor (via hdmi as shown in the sound manager, though I use DP) instead of speakers and headset after reboot! Did anybody have the same problem? I have to set it to speakers and headset manually every time because of that which is annoying.

Does anybody have the same issue? Any way to fix?

Do you have anything plugged into the HDMI outputs? I would also check and see if Windows decided to replace your video card drivers during the anniversary update. I know in Windows 8.1 and prior there is an option in the audio device list to set which one to default to. If that doesn't work or isn't there, try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver doing a custom installation and unchecking the audio portion of the driver.

Do you have Realtek? I think they pushed out a driver update.

Using Device Manager, uninstall the driver and delete the package. Then run the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 utility to hide the Realtek driver and install a known working one.
