Ciaphas posted:Is there any way in Windows or FFXIV somewhere to change what sound device it's outputting to without having to wholly restart the client? I have to do they every time I plug in my USB headset or switch to it in Windows, and it's bloody aggravating. The best you can do is find something that acts as a virtual audio sink, set FF to that, and then have it flip between physical sinks.

Windows outputs the sound to the connection in the audio card not to the headphone itself. Just plug something else in? I switch from headphones to speakers just fine.

It's not the same as just plugging headphones into your existing speakers / card.

Most games let you swap output in the options no problem. I'm guessing it's related to PS3/PS4 support and it not being worth the effort for the small number of people like us who care.

This has been a gripe for me for a long time and I found something that works most of the time. Right click on the speaker in your system tray and click playback devices. Click on your headset and make it the default. It should switch all audio over but might not switch the FF audio.

It's just a quality of life thing most games handle just fine. It'd be nice, but I also don't really care if I have to restart the game before raid time.

Technically FFXIV is always outputting to your default audio device, "Line 1", and you can choose to pump Line 1 repeat into anything you choose to on the fly without FFXIV knowing any different.

I don't know if any of our crafters on Excalibur read this thread, but I may need your help. I've reached the Zodiac stage of the Relic quest-- I only started playing a month and a half ish ago now, so I haven't built the money to affort this stuff yet. After buying the four 100k gil items, I'm down to 1M gil, so if I shelled out full price for the eight items I'll need I won't have any left. The items I need are: Perfect Firewood (HQ) Perfect Vellum (HQ) Perfect Pounce (HQ) These seem to go for ~100,000 gil a piece on the market board which as I said is widely out of my garbage newbie price range. So I'm hoping slash begging that we have a few crafters in Please Be Careful who might have the mats for this stuff laying around, and who wouldn't mind cutting me a friendly price-- even if it was just 75k instead of 100k that'd be a huge improvement in terms of gil it'll leave me with. Contact me in-game as Blossom Rose if you see me online, or reply here! Drium fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Definitely won't switch to new default device. The only way you can do it is what Stufoo said. It is annoying considered most other games will switch or have the option to change sound device in game but oh well.

I hate the one where berserk isn't up again yet, that's the worst one. If eye isn't prepped for some reason the melee DD with me might get a couple punches to the face, but robot murder is sometimes not a pretty business, ok. I wonder if the timing is going to be mostly the same on A4S.

I love offtanking A4 so pro tips for all the Warriors out there: 1) Getting sucked in the photoboth happens at specific times in the fight, with slight variation for exceptionally bad or good DPS. Learn when these are. It's always after certain mechanics (usu orbs) end, and your berserk cooldown timer is a good hint if you've lost track. 2) Once you know when Surprise Purikura is about to happen and it is no longer a surprise, prep storm's eye and make sure you have at least 3 stacks of Wrath/Abandon 3) When you're in, switch to Deliverance if you haven't already, apply Storm's Eye (you should have 4 or 5 stacks of Wrath/Abandon now), pop berserk and internal release, fell cleave, infuriate, fell cleave, then do hate combo 4) There will be one where berserk won't be up yet, that one sucks. Just prep the same way and do your best. If internal release and infuriate are up, it's probably best to only blow them if you're with a particularly terrible DPS, otherwise it's best to save for the next one 5) Look at this photograph, every time I look I get sucked into pneumatic tubes and forced to fight robots to death, 6) Seriously though, strength accessories

Thanks. Looks like Razer Surround is a free alternative that does exactly this, so I'll give it a look when I get home later tonight. (To those like Tenzarin who suggested just getting 3.5 headphones, technically my default sound device isn't even the sound card, it's the video card, 'cos my default audio goes through HDMI into a splitter so both the office and the living room have access to the PC.)
