sounds like a hardware/configuration issue on your end.

Check in your Windows sound options which device your default output device is, also check in your game audio settings what is set as output device there.

Since you mention “changing” there could be a different device set as default in Windows and ingame there is a “default” setting for your output device too, so if you’re using the device that is not the default this could explain the behavior.
