Question - IDE Preview sound not working?

Most of the times the "preview sound" feature doesn't work at all, and it plays without hearing any sound. It's sometimes very annoying. Is this fixable? Also why is this? Or am I the only one?

(so what I mean is, in GMS2, when you create a sound, load a sound file, then press the play button. It shows that it's playing but there isn't any sound)

Check your GMS 2 -> File -> Preferences -> General Settings -> Default Audio Device that it is set to the audio device you want to play sound through. The IDE will play sound through that, for example, regardless of if you have headphones plugged in or not.

Aaah makes so much sense. Thanks a lot. I'm working from my little home-recording studio. It wasn't connected to my sound interface at all.
(still weird that I didn't get sound at all, since it was connected to my laptop speakers, but doesn't really matter)
