![]() ![]() So as I have a monitor with speakers and headphones, on Windows 10 I had Discord following as output what I was choosing in my audio taskbar menu. In Windows 11 it is only possible to set only one output device as a "default for audio" and/or as a "default for communication", without having for example two different outputs both attributed for communication, so that Discord could output from what I select in the audio taskbar menu where I see all my audio output devices. but in this way Default in Discord's Output Device list in its settings (precisely in "Voice & Video") looses its function. This is amazing!!! Never had any issues with Windows 10, but as I updated to Windows 11, I was getting mad as the new Windows has an obligated "default for audio" and "default for communication" selections for output devices that cannot be attribute to two different output devices at the same time. No disrespect to you of course since I know it takes time and skill to code things like that and I respect that you went out of your way to do so. ![]() Even if it only fixed the output switching, it would still make things a lot easier for Discord users if a system like this was implemented.Īlso, I'm sorry Barsik but we shouldn't have to install a third-party service just to partially fix something that Discord's devs can implement themselves, especially since most of us probably care more about the outputs rather than inputs. I'm not sure if Direct Sound also affects inputs but I'm pretty sure there is a similar system that will. Connect your headphones to two audio sources. If you use analog Xbox 360 audio output, you can choose between two types. This way, if youre playing media on one device, your headphones can switch. If I'm right then Discord's devs should definitely look into this. Run the Audio setup tool Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the. I may be wrong here but from what I can tell, at least in terms of output devices, it seems that Discord uses Windows Audio Session when instead it should be using Direct Sound or something similar. iTunes is a perfect example of this: When set to use Windows Audio Session, iTunes will not automatically change output device, however it will change automatically if it is set to use Direct Sound. However, most basic users likely only have 1 input and 2 outputs - a mic, speakers and headphones.īarsik is right in saying it's not just a Discord issue, but other apps with similar issues can also be fixed by their devs just like Discord can. Personally, I prefer set to my inputs per-app since I have different inputs for different purposes but I always use the tray icon to switch between my speakers and headphones. I haven't tried changing my input device (I haven't needed to so far) but the issue definitely does exist for output devices.īarsik talks about the default communication device, however "default communication device" only affects input devices and, like they say, this isn't the easiest to change through Windows anyway. ![]()
