Windows 10: Specific Audio Device for Playback from Particular Program

I use Dragon Medical Practice Edition to dictate charts at work. Frequently I will play music in the background. Windows 10 defaults to using my Dell's built-in speakers.

When I make dictation corrections, Dragon is set to play the audio snippet of what I dictated that wasn't transcribed correctly. I would like this audio to playback through my Philips SpeechMike SMP3700.

Is there a way to set this so Dragon plays audio through the SpeechMike, but all other audio goes through the Realtek audio/laptop's internal speakers?

Please set the device as a default device and then check if it helps.

Thank you.

 

Can't get stereo sound in Windows 10

If you give the specific model of the computer we can check it. Until then, what audio outputs does your system have?

The speakers only have one audio cable from the computer and you use Waves setting it to that particular system on the device selection?

If a specific program was run or something else detectable happened when your program played back sound, it might be possible to write a script monitoring it to change the default playback device - e.g. Autohotkey. But that would take some research.

 

Unless you can find a 3rd party program to do what you want, you are stuck with what Windows allows - One playback device.

 

Media players like MPC or VLC let you pick the default output device, but for something system wide, check:
