    hey guys, i usually hook up my r1 to my 32 inch tv and play with no issue but lately i would plug it in and sound would come from my m11x instead of the TV that would take 2-3 unplug and replugs to fix (if at all) and now when i plg it in instead of mirroring my TV the screen on my laptop simply flashes and shows my desktop background and nothing else. It still dissplays to my TV fine but i just feel like my laptop is slowly degenerating as time goes by, and iv only had it since may! please help.

    Sound Fix:
    >Right click speakers.
    >Playback Devices.
    >Right click in blank space, then tick "Show Disabled Devices"
    >Right Click your TV Speakers and enable.

    Do the same to change back to your laptop speakers if they don't come back automatically.
