Set app audio device not switching over to other audio device

[kekev2001]

if i setup the Proces by name to like discord.exe it is not switching over to other playback device

Are you trying to control the notification audio, or the voice chat audio? As Discord controls the voice chat audio within the application it won't be possible to change that using the action. If you wish to change the notification output this can be achieved by setting the process name to "discord" or "discord.exe", and then the desired device.

Alternatively, you can specify "Default" as the output device in Discord, and use the "Set Default Audio Device" to change the default system wide output communication device.

i want to set the output of discord voicechat sounds and also the notify sounds on a other audio device

[GeekyEggo]

Change Discord Notification Device.

1. Create a "Set App Audio Device" action.
2. Set "Process" to be "By Name", and enter the name "Discord.exe".
3. Set the desired audio device.

Change Discord Voice Chat Device.

1. In Discord, go to Settings > Voice & Video, and set "Output Device" to "Default".
2. In Stream Deck, create a "Set Default Audio Device".
3. Set the desired audio device.
4. Set "Role" to be "Communication".

when i press this button the audio ouput device stays here

[GeekyEggo]

In Discord, output should be “Default”.

[kekev2001]

i did this noting changed

[GeekyEggo]

Did you use the “Set Default Audio Device”? The “Set App Audio Device” won’t work for changing voice chat.

[kekev2001]

no i need to use the Set app audio device i only want discord on channel 8 and internet browser

[GeekyEggo]

Try with the “Set Default Audio Device” and role as “Communication”; other applications should remain unaffected.

[kekev2001]

but it will only do discord?

[GeekyEggo]

There’s one way to find out, try it. 😄

[kekev2001]

Try with the “Set Default Audio Device” and role as “Communication”; other applications should remain unaffected.

i did this also notings happend or changed

[GeekyEggo]

@kekev2001, I've done some testing and managed to get this working, here's what you'll need to do...

Discord

• In Discord, the Output device must be Default.
• When set to Default, Discord uses the system's default Communication Device.

Sound Deck

• Create a "Set Default Audio Device" action.
• The role must be Communication only, otherwise all system audio will change.

This will then change the system's default communication device, which will change Discord's voice chat output.

i just did this only also this dont worked

[GeekyEggo]

@kekev2001 could you record a short video showing your Discord voice settings and the Stream Deck action you’re trying with.

[kekev2001]

[GeekyEggo]

@kekev2001 you're using the wrong action type; to change Discord voice chat you will need to use "Set Default Audio Device", do not use "Set App Audio Device".

Please note; this won't change anything in Discord, but instead will change your system's communication device, which Discord will use because it is set to "Default".

@kekev2001 did you manage to get this working?

[kekev2001]

@kekev2001 did you manage to get this working?

not yet is there a other way to get this working

[GeekyEggo]

It isn't possible to control the Discord audio (defined in Discord) via the API, AFAIK. Following the instructions listed above, i.e. using the "Set Default Audio Device" (and not Set App Audio Device) will work.

[kekev2001]

i also tried that notings works do you have discord so that i can show you it
