Windows 10 How do I get audio from my AIO computer speakers while using a second HDMI-connected monitor which does not have an audio jack or speakers?

[Cruisercruiser]

My All-In-One Acer desktop monitor failed. So I got a new monitor (without speakers and audio jack) and connected it to the AIO using a HDMI cable. The display worked perfectly, but now there is no audio because the monitor doesn't have speakers nor an audio jack, and the sound does not come from my AIO audio jack since I am using a HDMI cable to connect to the new monitor.


When I changed my primary screen back to the failed AIO, the sound works great from the audio port of the AIO, but alas I won't have a screen!


I have tried the procedure below with a bit of success, but the sound comes out very muffled.

1. Open Sound panel
2. Select Speakers as the default playback device
3. Go to the "Recording" tab
4. Right click and enable "Show Disabled Devices"
5. A recording device called "Wave Out Mix", "Mono Mix" or "Stereo Mix" (this was my case) should appear
6. Right click on the new device and click "Enable"
7. Right click on the new device and click "Set as Default Device"
8. Double click on the new device to open the Properties window
9. Go to the "Listen" tab
10. Click on the "Listen to this device" checkbox
11. Select your HDMI device from the "Playback through this device" list

Can someone help!
