Am I missing something here? Can't you just change the default sound device to the DAC?

- JamesMcMinn 9y agoI have a USB DAC, that's exactly how it works for me...it'll happily switch between the builtin audio and USB DAC while playing, too.
- philsnow 9y agoMaybe elfchief doesn't want chord.wav to play on the hi-fi system, so doesn't set the DAC as the default device
- elfchief 9y agoPretty much this. I have a pair of studio monitors set up for music and tuned for music. Game audio and random youtube videos don't sound so great with that setup, so I don't want it to be my default. Sure, I could change the default every time I fire up Spotify, but that's annoying and I really shouldn't have to do it -- this kind of setup is not that unusual for music lovers, and it's not a difficult feature to add.
- true_religion 9y agoHave you heard of this http://www.chevolume.com/ http://www.chevolume.com/ It lets you set an app to use a default audio device, which may solve your issue with spotify. Some apps just ignore it, and only play through the system default though.
