How to set default communication device

We've all spent enough of our lives trying to figure out why our microphones don't work. Disable the notifications and this would probably also be a very good way to prank someone.Īctually, please don't do that. Select the adapter and right click to open the menu. Like, I don't know, you listen to Spotify through your speakers, but as soon as you launch Rainbow Six: Siege, it knows it's headset time. To change the default COM port used to communicate with multiport serial boards, do the following: Go to Windows Device manager > Multi-port serial adapters. SoundSwitch has an advanced 'profile' feature where you can program it to swap to a certain device when you launch a specific program or bring it to focus. I haven't tried SoundSwitch with more complicated setups with OBS or other streaming software, but at least for gaming and video chatting, it seems like the kind of tool that just makes life a little easier.

I set this back to 'Default' and watched the mic tester while tapping on my headset mic, then my webcam mic after tapping F2. I tested this in Discord, where I'd previously told the app to specifically use my headset mic.
