Not entirely certain. Could you show me a screenshot of what I should be looking for? I had to set up my speakers in the hardware preferences as I was following the Ross U tutorial. But, that's where the video ended. Didn't show the audio actually playing back in the Sequencer, just that you can scrub over it in the Scene* Director.
Found the setting to change under "Inputs and Outputs" in the Hardware Preference setting. Output was set to default. Changed to my audio device I set up earlier in my attempts to fix the audio problem.
