Ok, i never understood how such a "simple" request would be such an impossible thing to find a solution for.
"Google, you have failed me "
-"This is Blasphemy! This is MADNESS!" >_<
I have a 32" TV that comes with amazing audio using its own sound card. Lets call it "TV card"
however, ONLY when i play css i want to play using my headphones, not my TV screen, for many undisclosed reasons.
In order to hear sound from my headphone, connected to my laptop, it has to go through the laptop built in sound card, Lets call it " laptop card", and NOT the tv card which is currently the default card.
Problem:
When i play CSS, i have to go to Sounds -> preferences -> Set Default Sound card -> and select my laptop/headset sound card to default, and THEN run CSS.
When i am done playing CSS, i have to go back to the same place above, and revert the default audio back to my tv card, which is the card i use for EVERYTHING, except gaming.
This "solution" sometimes fucks up my apps:
1- i cant run audio from different places, it just scrambles them to one default audio.
2- Needless to say how annoying it is to be forced to close a browser in which you have a pre-buffered video, simply because the audio fucked up and is no longer working because of the sound card toggling (damn you google chrome!)
Not trying to be lazy with the whole "toggling default audio" thing, but it's getting annoying, and i looked everywhere online, fricken microsoft is retarded like that and i cant find a solution.
Ideal request:
Im looking for something: a solution, a safe runable batch / cmd code for windows 7 x 64 (on my sony vaio), a safe registry tweak, or a third party application, that let's me somehow "bind" a specific audio device to a 'specific" application, such as CSS.
My ideal setting would be to have my tv as my main and default audio output, and if i run a game, the audio for THAT game, and THAT game only goes through my other card... allowing my tv to remain as main audio for misc-applications to keep running audio on my tv screen, not in my ears...(for example, my kid bro listening to music out loud on from my tv card while i enjoy a gd CSS game in my headphones:D
Any of u solid gamers out there have found a solution to a similar problem?...
PS: a last resort option would be to find a way to make a batch that "toggles" the default status of audio cards that i have, and then "Attach it" to a cSS shortcut... but thats just too fucking messy for something that should be a given in a game...
Sorry for long post, but i dont give a damn, considering its a summary of all the crap i have red for DAYS on a shitload of tech forums -.- lol
edit ; i just found this app... im trying it to see if it works or not... bcos there;s a lot of fake shit out there...
