    Lock recording and playback settings?


    Seems to me that in the past, maybe XP, I could either lock the playback/recording settings or perhaps it was a 2nd party program that set them to predefined levels. I haven't seen anything for w10 that does that. I have a program that dictates specific levels for use. Any help here?

    App-Specific Playback and Recording Preferences

    I was able to get this to work with my Philips SpeechMike. In order to do so, I had to right click on the speaker icon, choose sounds, then recording, then double clicked the microphone icon. Under listen, I chose the microphone under playback through this device.

    A little trial and error but was able to figure it out. If anyone else is trying to get something similar to occur, you may have to follow the above steps.

    Lock recording and playback settings?

    Frequent switching of playback and recording devices

    Windows 10 user for a bit and have been seeing this as an 'issue' for quite a few versions of Windows.

    I have x3 recording and x2-3 playback devices installed.

    Recording

    • Logitech Webcam (USB)
    • Plantronics Headset (USB)
    • Blue Yeti Pro (USB)
    Playback

    • Bose Speakers (Speaker port on Dell touchscreen)
    • Plantronics Headset (USB)
    • Earbuds (headphones port - not always plugged in)
    Most are hardwired and one has a Bluetooth connection capability (Plantronics). I find myself often switching from one device to another, depending on the situation - recording, listening to music, taking a phone call, etc.

    The current switching process is a bit cumbersome - right click the speaker in the taskbar, select playback or recording device and then picking whichever device. I find myself going thru this process x2-5 a day given whatever I am doing

    It would seem to me that an app or icon / button selector would be ideal. Anyone aware of an app or device that might accommodate my need?
