DickCheney 74 Posted November 23, 2014 It would be nice if we could choose where the game sends its sound, I prefer to play DayZ through my headphones so I can hear better and I mean I have to have the mic there to speak anyway but there is no option to set this in the game, I have to go into sound settings and set my headphones as the default before I play and set my speakers to default when I am done. Kind of a pain, seems like a pretty basic feature that every other game has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted November 23, 2014 Kind of a pain, seems like a pretty basic feature that every other game has. I have never really seen any game offering this. Maybe I just got used to it - but I always have a shortcut for Sound somewhere easily accessible and can just switch my sound-output with 3 clicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Planetside 2 allows you to do this and it is nice to have as I have 3 options to choose from for my audio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellen Ripley 71 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Please this really bugs me too!I need an option to choose a sound device in game.I am often playing while watching a stream/movie. Therefore I need the gamesound on my headset while the other soundsource has to be my TV.So please while you are reworking the engine try to add an option for the sound device, too.Other Programs/Games offer this option already ( Skype, Diablo 3 etc. ) See also this Topic: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/208458-implement-way-to-select-sound-output-device/ Edited January 2, 2015 by Ellen Ripley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For instance, VLC you can choose your audio source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
