Music comes from wrong speaker on desktop

jens45621 — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 15:48:50 GMT

In Windows 10, I use a headset wich my laptop sees as another speaker. Normally my Spotify would would go through my headset when i plugged it in but now it stopped doing that and it keeps going through my laptop's speakers. I can't find anything in the app to change it and can't seem to find it anywhere in Windows either.

Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks.

Hi @jens45621

In the latest update of Windows, they added the ability to configure volume levels and output device per application. So your setting could be wrong. To check them go to

Start Button -> Settings -> System -> Sound -> Section "Other sound options" -> click on "App volume and device preferences". There in the row with Spotify app change the Output device to your headset and it should fix the issue.

Let me know if that helped.

Hey @PickleNickle,

Thanks for reaching out.

Are you by any chance using any software that could be overriding the OS settings mentioned in the solution to this post?

Keep us posted.
