[Solved, sort of] I think I kill my sound

I have no idea what I did wrong. I installed the Facerig audio driver for windows 8 (since I am on windows 10) and now all sound on my computer has stoped except from facerig. If I turn on the playback option I can hear what the microphone hears, but with or without that enabled all other probrams including my OS are utterly silent.
What exactly did I do wrong?

Ohh and facerig goes silent too if I set the audio playback device to the facerig virtual audio.

Hmm. If I close facerig, other programs play sound normaly, and I can then start up facerig and it's sound works too, but all new programs I start from then on wil be mute until i close facerig again
So.... Ummm.... is Facerig just grabbing my entire sound card at the first chance it gets and holding it hostage? 0.o

OK. Found the problem. The facerig virtual audio replaced my speackers as the output device in my system. Setting it back to my speakers resolved the issues. Being able to hear skype again is good :p

That's Windows for you :P
It's quite common that if you install a new device (audio in / out, webcam) that Windows thinks "Hey, you just installed this, you obviously want to use it for EVERYTHING now, let me just set it as the default for you." [/sarcastic]

Anyway, you seem to have fixed it yourself already, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

oh i figured it out. xDDD for any future people learning to fix this issue.
It will be in your volume settings under the Control Panel for your computer.
You will notice the output will be set to "Facerig" and just switch it to your default audio output option.

Tysm! When the sound on my computer stopped working I thought facerig broke my computers audio! Turns out it just replaced my default audio lol.

Facerig messes with someone's audio once again. =w=
TLDR: Facerig replaced my second monitor's audio (Panasonic TV.) After uninstalling Facerig's virtual audio, I never got audio back for my second monitor... I tried replugging it back in and everything, any help please? :(

Long Version:
I use a Panasonic TV as my second monitor, and also for audio. When I installed Facerig, it replaced that monitor's audio.
Even after uninstalling facerig, Facerig's Virtual Audio thing was still there. So I installed again, and uninstalled to try and get rid of it.
Still didn't work, so I went into programs, and uninstalled both directly... but, my Panasonic TV's audio never came back. :( So now I just have my laptop's audio.
I didn't have to install a driver or anything for my TV to play audio... I don't know if I'll want to try using facerig again if it keeps messing things up for everyone, but I would like some help figuring out what to do, please. ono
