.90 Internet Explorer Default Audio selection. Usability #1903

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

.81 Flash always selected the Windows default audio source.

.90 Enumerates the devices on PC and does not automatically select the default 
source causing user to have other audio source.

To reproduce.

1)Have multiple audio sources.
2)Try .81 and then .90, different sources are selected.

User comments.

"In BBB 0.81 on Chrome & IE, and BBB 0.9 beta on Chrome, the microphone 
defaults to the Windows Sound Recording default device.

In BBB 0.9 on IE however, it seems that the recording devices are enumerated, 
and the first one is selected, whether it is the default Windows device or not.

This is not actually a bug, as the instructions say to choose another mic if 
the VU bar does not move, but in my experience, users do not read the 
instructions (as I have already done) and end up trying to use the Line-In for 
a mic.

It may be better if the Windows default device is selected by default, and then 
can be changed by the drop-down.  "

Would be good if Windows default audio is selected.
