OpenPHT wont default audio to TV from WIn 10 laptop

Is OpenPHT set to play through HDMI in: Preferences > System (gear) > Audio output > Audio output device ?

Hi thanks for replying mate

No it was not at the time I had it connected to the TV. Changing this setting manually worked and sound played through the TV

but I thought this setting would change automatically once connecting the laptop to the TV? I hope I dont need to do this manually every time
