Windows 10: Microsoft Your Phone and headsets

I have a Microsoft LiveChat LX-6000 headset USB which is set as my default communications device, but I am unable to get the Your Phone app to use the headset speakers, although the mic works fine.


The app does not appear in "app volume - device preferences" and the app itself has no option to change the default output device.


Is this an oversight or am I missing something?

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
