Windows 10: Disable a Playback Device for a certain program?

Hello good people,

First off, Windows 10 on an XPS 15 9560 - 7700k

My question stems from a bit of annoyance, and not necessarily a problem...

Basically, I want to disable the Speakers/Headphones device for only one program, Battlefield 1, because I use Bluetooth headphones and a 3.5mm mic for it.

Reason being, if I forget to disable the speakers before starting the game, the VoIP system is messed up and I cant hear my teammates (this is the only way I've found to remedy the situation.) I then have to quit the game, disable the playback device, then restart it. It's very annoying. Usually, I remember to do this before, but all too often I will forget.

The other reason is -- I hate the speakers/headphones being disabled in the first place. I listen to headphones at work and have to re-enable it. It's just a step I would like to avoid having to do in the future. Is there a solution to this without installing a 3rd party software?

Thanks in advance!

Zach

audio jack problems

Hi,

Windows allows disabling of a certain port if you want to or if you need to. To disable a headphone or speaker audio jack, kindly follow these steps:

• Right-click the Sound or Volume icon on the lower-left side of your screen.
• Select Playback devices.
• Right-click on the playback device that you want to disable and click
  Disable.

To disable a microphone jack:

• Right-click the Sound or Volume icon on the lower-left side of your screen.
• Select Recording devices.
• Right-click on the recording device that you want to disable and click
  Disable.

Also, we recommend taking your PC to a technician for the removal of the audio jack that is stuck so that, you'll be able to use the port again.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

Regards.

Is there a way to install a program or to do certain method to make win. do any action when I plug the headphone in (to enable front jack detection)?!
