Problem: You have a set of speakers that sound way better than your monitor's built-in speakers but the sound plays through the monitor by default (& your computer is connected to your monitor through an HDMI cable).
Solution: Plug speakers into your computer/laptop → Control Panel → (Sound) Manage Audio Devices → (Playback tab) R click on the device that is NOT "Speakers" (it might be "Digital Audio (HDMI)") → Disable
Tip: In order to re-enable or see the Disabled devices, R click on the blank space > check Show Disabled Devices
