Move sound back to laptop when connected to HDMI monitor?

It's pretty simple. You're extending your desktop to a monitor via HDMI. Great. People say that you can extend sound as well to the monitor. Problem is, you're connecting your headset to your laptop and you don't want to wake up your sleeping family. What do you do?
Never fear. I've so much free time to explain that menial question.

Open Control panel > Manage sound device.

Make sure your laptop speaker is the default device.


You should be fine. Now smile.
