dynamic content in the windows sound mixer.

Hi all,
Here's the scenario. I want to change the playback device for certain apps. I can accomplish this with the windows sound mixer, but, the problem I have is the list keeps updating as it is a dynamic list based on loudest to softest in terms of which app is putting out how much sound etc. How can I prevent this long enough to be able to change the output of certain apps to go to the devices I'd like them to? for instance, iTunes and Spotify, neither of which have that functionality in their own application, hense the need to utilise the windows sound mixer. winamp and various others do not have this restriction.

If you go to the advanced sound properties under sound you should be able to get to that list easier and I believe the order sticks.

is that through windows settings? I forgot to mention I'm using windows 11.

That's actually where I do this in windows 10. I'm thinking it's the same place. Good luck.

and that's where I have the problem. even reloading NVDA and reopening settings which sometimes resolves the issue, is even working today.

Yes.
Also, if it's a removable soud card (i.e. anything bluetooth/HDMI/USB, Do Not UnPair/Disconnect It! Best case: Windows assumes a default built-in device and plays the sound straight away. Worst case: No sound plays at all and you have to come back here to pick a device again while the app is playing audio. Jason Bratcher
