Duplicate Sound Playback Devices - Speakers & TV

[johnbil]

In Windows 7, you can hit the ‘Windows Key + P’ and adjust the sound output to ‘Duplicate’. By doing so, the audio output can come from the PC Speakers AND a TV, which is connected by an HDMI cable. This is what I am trying to achieve automatically. It seems to only be for the current session and then it goes back to the default sound output on the next reboot.

Is there any way to build in a command or adjust a startup setting so that my PC always boots into ‘Duplicate’ mode?

Regards…John

Windows Key + P is not related to sound output. It's for switching between display modes.
