Spotify crashing, output devices problem..

So I badly need to be able to switch between output devices since I have speakers and headphones, and I don't wan't all my sound to go trough my speakers, only spotify. BUT. The problem was (or is) that Spotify does not have that feature implemented already for some stupid reason. So after some googling, I found out you could actually do it, here..

(A link to the post where I got the launch options from.)

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Allow-user-to-select-default-sound-device/idi-p/5351/page/45/tab/preview

So by adding --enable-audio-graph as a launch setting, it will enable so you can choose output device. This actually worked just the way I wanted and was amazing.

Ye, untill a week or two ago when I think Spotify must have updated, now when I launch my shortcut with the launch option, the spotify application opens and then closes 3 seconds later, if I remove it from the shortcut, everything is fine again.

Please fix this since I badly need this feature, and why not just add it in the first place..

Problem solved, or kinda.

Glad news!

If you're on Windows 10 then, you can update to version 1803 or later, it just released a day or two ago.

Then you can go into Windows Settings / System /Sound / and then scroll down and click the option titled "App volume and device preferences". There you can change the output device of all your current open programs.

Keep in mind though, that this is only a fix for Windows 10 users on 1803 or late. A build in feature directly in Spotify is still something they should add.
