D4n Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Guys, after Windows 10 April (fools) update (which took 2-3 hours), it seems my Creative Soundblaster microphone got nearly broken by Microsoft's Win 10 update, and also noticed that DCS STILL doesn't support standard-audio-output device changing while the game is running...

No problems switching audio output can be done while game is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I have never had any issues with switching my audio devices while running DCS. Seems like an issue on your side. Please stop calling everything a bug immediately, when something isn't working for you.

D4n Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 I just tested it... in main menu, audio output over normal 3.5mm audio jack, then switching to HDMI output of my screen (in which my speakers are plugged in) and it FAILED. Is that what you tried too, QuiGon? HDMI? Actually, WOW, game loading splashscreen, and windows volume mixer frozen, then DCS crash...!! Sooo, actually, ED, it should be under "game crashes" section. Please move this thread to "game crash" section, thank you.

Blindeye_03 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 My speakers are 3.5 and my headset is USB - I was able to switch from the speakers to my headset (I forgot to do it prior to game launch) by going into windows and changing output by clicking the speaker icon (windows 10) and then clicking the up carrot to display my devices and clicking the headset. Once I was alt-tabbed back in game my sound was over my headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I just tested it... in main menu, audio output over normal 3.5mm audio jack... Just tried the audio output - in game seamlessly changed between Bluetooth to QC35's , 3.5mm audio jack to speakers and HDMI output to monitor's built in speakers. If the QC35's are on, sound defaults to them, turn them off and it goes to the 3.5mm speakers, unplug them and the HDMI takes over, same priority going back in. Maybe check your rig a bit more... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I never really had any issue, either. Buy I export audio to play over all devices simultaneously, so there is no 'switching' for me anyway. That said my headset is stubbornly not playing DCS audio over it now for some reason, though I can't really play right now anyway so it doesn't matter :p I think folks forget the devices they're using can be a factor in this sort of thing also.

D4n Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yes I should have.

Eldur Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I just had a session of DCS running, but put into the background for reasons. Then Windows 7 again acted up and threw around my speakers (front left coming out of rear right etc), so I had to set it down to stereo and back up to 5.1. Worked as always. Known issue, because Audio in Win7 is balls as well as the driver suites from Creative. Back to DCS to continue my flight. Nothing, complete silence. Tried to switch over to onboard + headphones attached and back. Audio is still gone. Quit DCS, start again, everything fine again. But TBH, I haven't ran into the need of switching audio while playing often, I remember some games that coped fine with it, but also some that didn't.

chief Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I could never switch audio devices with dcs for as long as I can remember. It's a real PITA. The night before I will switch to headset which is USB to keep the noise level down in my house and then the next morning I will run DCS and forget to switch to speakers after I join a server. Then of course I have to shut down DCS change the audio via windows then reboot dcs. Drives me crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 DCS have never been aware of any change you do on the sound device list. If you change default device output DCS will not follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Must be a setup thing. I have 3 sound devices plugged in, and I can swap between them in flight. (Though to use Bluetooth headphones last night I had to physically unplug my other USB headphones - but it was all good without exiting the mission...) Win10 or Win7 ? Edited July 9, 2018 by Weta43 question Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
