Changing audio output device to anything digital crashes the game to desktop. I can change between soundcard and bluetooth headset fine, but selecting anything else instacrashes game to desktop, whether it is steam streaming audio options or audio over displayport cable directly to monitor.
If this happens, game becomes completely unplayable since it keeps on trying the previously set audio device, making it crash all over again. Only way to get around this, is to open configuration file from \users\<username>\documents\my games\path of exile\production_Config.ini and from here just remote audio device line completely, making PoE to rewrite the missing line on next startup to currently in use device.
[SOUND]
ambient_sound_volume2=50
dialogue_sound_volume2=330
master_volume2=100
item_filter_sound_volume2=35
channel_count=high
chat_alert_sound_volume=50
reverb_enabled2=true
music_volume2=50
mute_in_background=true
sound_effects_volume2=50
audio_device_id=Kaiuttimet (Realtek(R) Audio) <--- you need to remove this line to fix the crash
