Issue: Audio coming only through speakers (Packaged Project)

For some reason, on a packaged project the audio only comes through the speakers and not the headset. It doesn’t adhere to any output that’s set to default under “Playback Devices” in windows.

Hi Taurian,
Have you tried disabling all the playback devices except for the headset’s playback?

Hi Slam, that does work. So how do I translate that to a fix? I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell our players to disable all playback devices instead of their headset.

How do I get the game to go to the default at all times?

Thanks!

What headset are you using?

If you don’t disable all the other playback devices, maybe try setting the headset’s playback device as the default device in your sound control panel.
If you’re using a Vive, ensure that in the SteamVR settings under the ‘Audio’ tab that the Audio output device is for ‘VR Headset’ too.

Headset, earphones. It doesn’t matter. It happens on all PCs. Not a VR game. I think I found the problem. Under Platforms >> Windows in the project settings the Audio Device option wasn’t “empty”. Clearing that out solved the problem for all users.
