Playing sound through the headphones

[Neil Pate]

Anybody been able to play sound through the headphone output on a PC? I have exactly the same issue as here.

All my other Windows apps play nicely, I can divert sound to my headphone output as needed on the fly using the Windows 10 sound "thing" down in the taskbar without changing any settings in individual applications, but LabVIEW refuses to play on anything but my speakers.

I have some software I've written that outputs to the non default speaker (headphones in my case too).  It worked as expected changing the device ID in Windows 7 x64, but I haven't tried running that software in Windows 10 since upgrading my OS.  I'll try to remember to try this out when I have access to that computer.

Edit: Okay a little bit more on my situation.  I had a desktop PC with audio going out on the HDMI to a TV.  I would plug in head phones, which Windows would make the default audio device.  I didn't like that so I changed the default audio device back to the HDMI output and all normal software would output to that.  I would run my LabVIEW VI to output specific audio that I wanted to hear on my headphones, and not interrupt the HDMI audio.

Thanks hooovahh, I did try changing the device ID in windows, something happened in that my sound went "away" from the PC speakers, but I could not find the right device for my headphones.

I will play a bit more.
