No Audio After Unplugging Headset

FYI, on my original Xbox one
when I plug in a headset into the controller the audio is redirected from the TV/HDMI to Headset and then when unplugged the audio is returned to the TV/HDMI.

Unplugged the headset. Still made no difference.

I had to mess with the tv's audio output.

Thx for the answer!

Does your monitor have built in speakers?

Nope

Do you have a headset you can try to see if you get sound that way?

I'm always using a headset and I've tried different ones on different controllers. The sound still works when you are not running any game or app. but as soon a game starts there is no sound.

What are your actual settings for audio?

Speaker audio:

HDMI audio - Headset format

Optical audio - Headset format

Bitstream format - Off

Headset audio:

Headset format - Windows Sonic for Headphones

Using HDMI or optica audio headset, not checked = no

Then it says:

"All audio is optimised for headsets right now. Once you unplug your headset, it'll go back to normal."

My issue is a bit different. The audio becomes garbled or choppy after 10 or so minutes of use. If I unplug the headset and re-plug it clears up for another 10 minutes. I purchased the adapter with the Microsoft Headset but have the same problem with other
headsets. Have not noticed the problem while gaming but while watching Netflix etc.

As the second bullet point notes, I did the power down thing (I have settings such that it doesn't stay on standby, but shuts down entirely). But for the sake of doing it, knowing I'll be asked again, I unplugged the console, waited, and tried again. The issue persists.

As said, this is occurring per game, the dashboard audio remains, and if I plug my headset back in, the audio through the headset works fine. It's just launching certain games where the audio appears to "believe a headset is still in"? That's as good as I can guess at this point, because it only occurs via the headset plugging/unplugging. Currently I cannot get audio to return to Ghost Recon without having my headset in. The workaround to return audio is not known to me.
