Ok so here be me issues and what not...

I have set up my default audio to work with my headphones while my external monitor AKA my TV is being used via HDMI. So far so good, sound works through the headphones good for me, pats on the back round of applause etc...

When I fire up my game into full screen, the sound reverts back to the TV, even tho my Realtek is still checked off and not Sony TV as default. Testing sound still works(headphones), movies,web etc when I alt-tab. Now my problem is this:
Sure I can just say 'screw it' and just keep playing Fallout 4 with out headphones and thus drowning out my girlfriends Hulu/Netflix watching experience (oh damn you Brooklyn and your little ass Apartments!) but then my sex life as we know it will die faster than an innocent man in a NYPD choke hold...

So, can you please help?

I'm running an AMD R6 with Realtek HD..
