joeafman Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Heres the situation. I want DCS audio to play though my headset with out changing my default audio device to my headset. There is no option DCS its self to change the audio device. Anyone know if there is a way to change the audio device DCS uses or if there is a third party program that will do this for me? Thanks!

aeliusg Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 What kind of headset do you have? If it's not a USB one, and you have a Realtek sound chip, you can disable front panel jack detection and it won't switch to your headphones while still playing sound through them.

Robin_Hood Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Still, I think ideally every software should have such an option. But DCS just does like pretty much all other games, as it is. 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_A Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 i would love it for any software i use to have this option i.e i have my media player set to my speakers, and DCS send to the USB headphones (which are default device) and i can play DCS while my kid listens to songs.

joeafman Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 i would love it for any software i use to have this option i.e i have my media player set to my speakers, and DCS send to the USB headphones (which are default device) and i can play DCS while my kid listens to songs. And this is why I want the option. But i use Itunes :( Guess I'll have to find a player that allows the selection of an audio device and set my default to the headset. Thanks Guys!
