I'm trying to watch The Hidden Fortress through a blu ray disk on PowerDVD 19, and I can't get any sound to play. I've tried going into the audio settings, and setting the output to "headphones", since I'm using headphones at my computer to watch movies, and still no audio comes out. Further, I'm not finding any options to set what output device the audio should be sent to. I listen to audio through my Focusrite audio interface. It's not an issue with the disk or with my headphones or PC, because I tried loading the movie up in Leawo free Blu ray player and the audio works perfectly fine. Why won't audio play for me on PowerDVD?

If you don't use Focusrite audio mixer as intermediate, but directly connect your headphone to PC.
Will you have sound when playing Blu Ray?

DRM content (Blu-ray or UHD Blu-ray) playback is lack of compatibility with professional devices that might provide features for specifc purpose (audio recording or studio use amplifying).

Leawo is DRM cracking program. Don't use it for comparison here.

This is absurd. Are you seriously telling me I can't use my default windows audio output device in PowerDVD 19? This has to be a joke. And don't tell me that it's not fair to compare this to Leawo. By every metric this $80 software should have every capability that a FREE counterpart with the same purpose would have.

Also, I can't even connect my headphones to the computer itself, because the cord on them is a 1/4th inch jack.

Your "FREE" Leawo program is an illegal program doing DRM removing.
Evidence: You can play BD via non-HDCP display connection with this cracking program.

Cyberlink is a well known company that offers BD solutions by industrial rules. It is now the major one of few existing authenticated programs in the market.
So, it is absolutely not fair to compare powerdvd with a free cracking or hacking software.
Is it clear?

I'm not sure when AACS-LA (BD protection issuer) will sue this company, but another famous cracking program "AnyDVD" was pulled down by FBI previously. (I know now it survives in other branding because the piracy will keep always there.)

Your headphone cannot be plugged to PC, you can consider an adapter for it.
