Hello,
I have an issue regarding audio on my new NUC.
First of all let me explain my setup:
I have 2 monitors: one is your common somewhat old PC monitor that connects to the NUC through a HDMI-to-DVI cable. The other monitor is a recent model LGTV which is connected directly through a HDMI cable. Since the NUC only has 1 HDMI port, I alternate between them depending on my needs.
The PC monitor doesn't have its own audio, I use speakers for sound. There are no issues with this setup.
The problem arises when I try to play certain games in fullscreen on my LGTV: the audio device manager will detect my TV and keep doing so when the game is started in window mode, however, when fullscreen is activated the TV will dissapear from the audio device manager. It will reappear after a second or two when you alt-tab to check the device manager.
Since this only happens to certain games, this should be a software issue.
Games that don't have this issue: Cuphead, Xanadu Next.
Games that do have this issue: Little Nightmares, Grandia II Anniversary Edition
As you can see this is a mix of old and new games.
According to Intel's GPU GUI, my driver version is 22.20.16.4815.
I have made quite a bit of research regarding this annoying problem and haven't been able to produce any desirable results, please help me fix this oddity that no doubt devaluates my NUC.
