Audio playback devices help!


Recommended Posts

Hello guyz! First topic I start in long time hahah. This time is to ask for some help!

 

Well, I'm making a video using Sony Vegas and I wanted to listen some music while I was doing it but at the same time I want to be able to hear audio tracks from Sony Vegas. So, I've come out with an idea, reproduce music through bluetooth speakers and somehow send Sony Vegas output through my headset (Plugged directly to my laptop). Just like a DJ mixer, where you can configure what goes into which out line (Disk1->>>> speakers, Disk2->>>> headset).

 

So is there any possible way of doing that without having to buy any expensive equipment, just by using windows features or downloading some kind of software?

 

 

No fancy image here. Don't ask why!

BEFORE YOU START SAYING IT! Yes, I know I can just play the music on my cellphone through bluetooth speakers, but that's not what I want haahaha. I want to be able to tell what program goes through which out line

There are a couple ways to split the audio to different devices on windows. I'll list them and you can hopefully pick the one that works for you.

 

First Method

  • Have your headset and speakers connected.
  • In windows playback devices, make sure your headset is the default device.
  • Open Vegas and start playing your tracks. (Vegas will stream via your headset obviously.)
  • Go to windows playback devices and make your speakers the default devices this time.
  • Open your Spotify/browser/app you'll use to stream your music from and start streaming your music (It'll playback through the speakers since that's the default device.)

Make sure not to close Vegas or the other app because you'll have to re do the entire process again.

 

Second Method

 

If you don't want to go through the hassle of doing the above you can use a software for this kind of thing like this one which I randomly found a while back while scrolling through my Reddit feed. It is pretty reliable but can be a bit buggy sometimes. Still, the most reliable piece of software I've found for this purpose which is also free.

 

Hoping one of these methods works for you! If not, I'll be glad to assist you further. ^^

Method 1: I use Windows 10. That was actually a thing at win7, unfortunately now it changes outputs automatically.

 

Method 2 actually sounds great! I'll give it a shot. Thanks mate

Method 2 makes sony vegas crash :c 

If you are able to dictate what device you want each app to use (through the app's settings, addons etc), you can open Realtek HD Audio Manager and click the little cog on the upper right corner and go to settings. Make sure to tick this and then change the device you want the apps to use accordingly.

 

Just saw your edit, I'm glad you sorted it out. Cheers!
