Sound does not come on Headphones in Watch Dogs
I attach my headphones and listen to some music on my computer and I also played some games, no problems. Fair enough. But as soon as I launch Watch Dogs, the headphone gives no sound and the sound output shifts to my laptop's speaker. I fidgeted with the sound settings to try my luck in fixing it, but failed. What could be the problem? If anyone can guess?
Why does the sound output shift to speaker and not stay with the headphone?
Best Answer
Based on the question I'll assume you're on PC:
- Exit the game
- Go to Windows --> Control Panel --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Playback
- Set your headphones as the default device
- Hit ok, then start the game.
If that does not work, the only option is to go back to that same dialog and disable your laptop speakers altogether (right-click --> disable).

Why is my sound not playing through my headphones?
Fix 1: Check for loose connections Unplug and reconnect the headphones to your computer. Make sure that the headset plug is securely connected, then try playing an audio file to test your issue. If the sound still comes out from speakers instead of headphones, go ahead and try the fix below.Why is there no sound in Watch Dogs?
After long hours of fixing, I found out that the problem is that Watch Dogs do not support sounds quality below 24 bit, 48000Hz. If your speakers do not support 24bit and only 16 bit, you need to upgrade your sound driver to support this settings.How To Fix NO SOUND In Games
