Default audio output? - aur0n - 2012-12-29
Hello there.
I recently updated to Frodo, and I came up with a problem.
When I watch something on XBMC, I usually change my output audio device with my remote control (setting to PC speakers / TV speakers / wireless headset, depending on my needs). With Eden, XBMC audio output was set as the Windows default output, I didn't have to change anything.
Now, with Frodo, I don't have anymore this possibility. If I change Windows audio output to my PC speakers, I have to replicate this in XBMC, going to Settings > System > Audio output. Is there any chance to go back to the original form?
Thank you.

The workaround is to have multiple profiles for the different audio outputs.
So you''d need 3 profiles with different audio settings for:
PC Speakers
TV Speakers
Wireless Headset
You can map the profile switching to a button on the remote so it can be done easily.

IIRC, Mac OS X also lost this ability (using an OS default). Not sure if it's gone for good or if it's something that might come back later (either in a bug fix release or in v13). I'll poke around about this and see if anyone knows.

Any news about this?
It's a pretty annoying step backward...
