    Hello! I just recently received my HP Envy 15 and am so far really enjoying it. One issues I've noticed that I don't know how to solve is that when I boot into games (say, Left for Dead 2) and want to listen to the audio through my headphones all of the game's sounds are directed through the laptop's speakers instead of the headphones. However, if I'm listening to Google Music or some other Windows desktop application the audio pipes through the headphones just fine. Any ideas about how to push audio through the headphones when playing games? Thanks!

    Suggest:
    1.Check your game setting whether have setting assign your audio output to internal speaker?
    2. Mannual change your playback devcie to HP in audio control panel when you play game
