    How To Force iTunes to Use a Different Playback Device?


    I want to play my music from iTunes through my microphone so my friends can listen along with me. I have set up a virtual audio cable and everything but I cannot find the setting to make iTunes use a different playback device than the default. Right now I have my default playback device patched through but then my friends hear all of my desktop audio and I don't want that.

    :)

    Playback devices


    Before I received the Creators update, plugging my headphones into the front jack socket did not automatically switch the default playback device from speakers to headphones. I had to go to the playback device menu and do this manually. Since the update, plugging in the headphones works exactly as it should but, oddly, the headphones no longer appear as an option in the playback menu. Any suggestion why?
    It has also been some considerable time since I was able to access the via hd console. Clicking on VIAAUD in Program Files has no effect whatsoever. Any views on this?

    Different default playback device for each user profile.

    Hi hs369258,

    Windows 10 has a feature that allows you to select a default sound output. If you want to replace your current audio device, you can select the other audio playback device available on your system and set it as
    default. To do so, follow these steps:

    1. Right-click the sound icon in your system tray and click
      Playback Devices.
    2. On the Playback tab, check which device is the default. Then, right-click it then set it to default.

    In addition, you can visit this link:
    https://winaero.com/blog/change-default-audio-device-windows-10/     to perform an alternative option to change your default audio device.

    If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.
