Unable to get audio on 2.4

[MadMark]

Just started up Elite in steam VR but I cannot get audio to work through the rift.
All the audio is coming through my head phones and I cannot see any settings that appear wrong?
Anything obvious that I am not seeing causing this?

right click your speaker icon in the system tray select playback devices ( make sure elite is running in the rift ) and select Rift Audio, make it default ^_^

Thanks that kind of worked.
But I never had to do that before 2.4, and why only Elite because the audio works by default automatically in Oculus store but cuts out in Elite now?

I also seem to have only 50% volume levels even though everything is set to max on PC and in game.

did you update video drivers? that can reset the default audio device for some reason.

The only updates have been Elite 2.4 on steam then Oculus came up requiring a update.
I have not updated to the latest NVidia driver though and am still using the previous NVidia driver.
Why can I not get my volume up even though everything is set to 100% both in game and sound settings on my pc in Elite it is so quiet now compared to 2.3 where I used to run Elite at 40% on speaker settings!
Now at 100% and it sounds about half what 40% sounded like in 2.3!
Out of Elite and all sound settings and volume levels are back to normal.

For anyone else this may happen to I found out what the problem was.
Even though Oculus settings was showing Audio at 100% it required moving down and back up to 100% for it to actually play at that level.
It must have got set at a lower level after Oculus updated its drivers and failed to show up on the settings.
All is well again apart from having to select the rift as my default audio device when playing Elite now after 2.4 when before it did not require to do that in 2.3.
I still can't figure that one out as audio plays while in Oculus home but as soon as Steam Elite starts then the Audio defaults to my sound card audio and not the rift?
