Changing default playback device on Windows 8
- by emartel
Previously, on Vista and Windows 7, changing the Default Playback device would occur instantly.
For example, audio is coming out of my speakers, I right click the Volume Control, click Playback Devices then I select another device and click Set Default. Audio would be transferred immediately.
Unfortunately, now, with Windows 8, I need to kill whatever process what outputting sound, and restart it for the change to take effect.
Is there something that can be done about it so that changes are taken into account immediately?
