[SOLVED] Hotline Miami sends audio through HDMI

I'm running Hotline Miami on Steam and the audio is automatically sent to the HDMI output (which is actually my second monitor) instead of the default output.

As there aren't any options in game or in the launcher to set the audio output, and the only FAQ I've found about this problem refers to the windows version, the only solution I've found is to unplug the monitor from behind the pc, but since that's a real hassle to do everytime I want to play 5 mins of this game (the computer is heavy and not in an easy to reach position), I'd rather find another solution.

As steam allows to set launch options for every game, I was wondering if there were any that I can set to force the audio to my preferred output?

If you are using pulse just switch it in pavucontrol or similar, if that doesn't work because of OpenAL look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … en_devices
