Like the title says; while I was playing I connected my earbuds and while all other audio switched to the headphones, the game audio was still playing out of the speakers. Restarting the game fixed the issue but it would be nice to not have to.

#

Something to note is I am using Voicemeeter Banana to manage audio but I haven't ran into this problem with any other application or game. On Windows 10.

I have run into this on select games (including balatro). I don't know what contributes to it, but some games aren't friendly with changing audio outputs while open, while others are

i think given how universal this is across many, many games that i have played, that it likely wouldn't be a quick fix

#

probably comes down to the audio platform being used

I'm having the same issue, is there any workaround?

#

Apparently downloading OpenAl and installing it globally then deleting the OpenAl file from the games install folder fixed the issue.
