Windows 10: How to change sound device's symbol in the output device menu on taskbar in Win 11?

Hi there,I switched my speaker + headphones, so speaker is now in front and headphones in back panel, previously it was the other way around. Somewhat later I noticed the symbols for the audio devices not matching. I'm not talking about the ones in the sound devices menu where you also see inputs mmsys.cpl, I mean the in Windows 11 newly added output devices switching menu when you click the speaker in the task bar and then the arrow on the right. There, the headphones got a speaker icon and my actual speakers got a headphone icon. They don't match up with the symbols I set in the sound devi

No Audio Output Device is Installed

Hi,

You will need to select Windows 8 from the drop down list while installing the driver in compatibility mode.

I would suggest you to try setting the speaker as default audio output by following the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Right click on the sound icon on the right bottom corner of the taskbar.

2. Select "playback devices".

3. If "speaker" is not set as the default device, highlight it and click "set as default".

5. Save the changes.

Let us know the result.

 

Vista sound output to two devices

Ive tried to search this up, but so far I haven't found good results.

I have a Sound Blaster X-fi PCI-E and the Radeon 4890 HDMI audio for outputs.
I have them both working separately on the audio devices list on Vista Home Premium.
I FINALLY got screen cloning to work in games, but audio will only output to one or the other.
This depends on what I have set to default.

Is there anyway to get Vista to output all audio to BOTH devices?

Thanks in advance.

 

No Sound No Output device

Running 19042.746 on a ASUS 2n1 computer. I believe this started 1 or 2 updates ago. I have no sound from the speakers or earphones with "the hardware device is not connected to the computer Code45" and "No output devices found" no pull down for choice. Device manager does not show a sound category unless I show hidden devices. Speaker icon in task tray shows a red "X". SFC /Scannow found some errors, ran 2x, no more errors. problem still exists.
Appreciate any suggestions.
