My Question or Issue

Spotify will only use my laptops speakers and not my earbuds or speaker even when I set it spifically to use my earbuds or speaker. I have gone and disabled my laptop speakers but then spotify will just refuse to play all together rather than use my earbuds or blutooth speaker. My drivers and spotify are up to date. Spotify is the only program having this issue. I have tried reinstalling it and running it as admin. Spotify is fully up to date.

Hi there @pokeitwithaspok

thanks for reaching out !

I've checked my Win mixer settings and it came out like this :

I'm fully able to control them seperately.

What happens when all of your apps are set to "Default" ?

I would also recommend visiting your app's settings and checking the following :

- Streaming quality is set to normal (under music quality)

- Disable autoplay option

- Disable automix

- Disable hardware acceleration (under compatibility) 

If it did the trick, make sure to enable them one by one to see which one effects it.

Keep me posted 🙂
