Description

Sorry if this is the incorrect means on how to make a request but I was told to do so here from an admin.

Basically I would like to see an audio out option for spdif.

This would be useful to choose the device dolphin outputs to (if you don't want it using the default windows device), but I would word this issue differently because reversely if mthe default device was already SPDIF and you wanted dolphin to output from "Speakers" then you'd just need an option to set any of the devices listed.

Allow us to choose the default output device seprately from what windows has as its default audio output. Is how I would name it.

That works as well.

(as I mentioned in IRC) I can also see it being very useful to select HDMI as audio output device if you're using a TV, and you'd rather windows sounds go to your receiver/speakers.

Wow, amazing you guys knew exactly what I meant. It took a page on the forums to get the understanding down. Yes I agree the wording is much better. I assume this would only be an option for OpenAL but may be best to keep it global to all sound backends if possible.

Shouldn't the OS sound system be responsible for choosing the correct audio device? PulseAudio supports that, and so should Windows IIRC. Dunno about OS X.

Then one would question why 95% of all dvd capable players ( be it files or discs players ) have the spdif out feature. I have never seen the OS sound driver act smart enough to know if its a digital send here, or analog send here. I agree it would be nice.

I know its possible, I seen tons of applications ignore windows audio settings and have their own config. plex is one example

Yes the OS is responsible for the default audio device most of the time this is a great thing.

But when you have a TV-Out via HDMI you want some audio to go to that and some audio to remain going through your speakers.

IF everything uses the default audio device, EVERYTHING goes through it, so if I set the default audio device to my tv which I must do to play it via my TV I cannot do anything else. I can't put a youtube video on and listen to it and play, which I could potentially do if I could set the audio device inside dolphin.

Here's an example of an app that allows you to choose the audio device, media player classic/potplayer/vlc, all of these allow you to do it, which is awesome. They allow me to have the TV dedicated entirely to playing media and I can still run other things on my PC with audio coming out of the speakers.

Finally, it would make Dolphin a little less of a pain to set up, as right now its yet another thing I have to do in advance before I run the thing.

I also want this option to be added. It is really useful for those with a home theater setups.

This is what I use. Found this a while back and would recommend! (Preferably use the Soft Routing option when routing audio to another device.)
