Restore old Sound setting capabilities
I believe sound setting functionality was changed with the release of 3.0
Previously, Path of Exile used the default system sound settings. So if I clicked on the sound icon in the task bar, changed from speakers to headphones, PoE would use headphones. If I changed back to speakers, PoE would use speakers. It was great. With 3.0, this changed. Now, I change sound on the taskbar to headphones. Start PoE. Launch sounds come through the headphones. Enter game, sounds are broadcast through the PoE setting (speakers). So then I change PoE sound to headphones. PoE then sends sound through headphones. Later, I change taskbar sound to speakers. Change PoE sound to speakers. PoE continues to send sound through headphones. I have to restart PoE to get sound from my speakers. It's a clunky process that is worse than the old settings. Somehow game launch does it perfectly and then in-game settings ruin it. Last edited by MegaGrubby#5130 on May 22, 2019, 5:24:45 PM Last bumped on May 22, 2019, 5:23:34 PM
