Audio output selection

[k6ccc]

I there a setting anywhere in the LOR software that allows selection of which audio output device to use if the show computer has more than one?  Or does it always use whatever the default audio output is? 

My situation is that my show computer has three possible audio outputs (what it calls Internal speakers, what it calls external speakers, and a Soundblaster USB adapter).  Currently the external speakers is the default and LOR (and everything else) is playing to that.  I run Zara Radio during non-show hours, and I want to have that use a different audio output.  Specifically I would like LOR to use the Soundblaster and Zara to use the external speakers.  Zara does allow me to manually select a different audio output, so in theory I should be able to make the SoundBlaster the default and manually override Zara to use the External speakers.

Window10 Sound settings has an Advanced button, where you can set Output by program source

Unfortunately (for this anyway), my show computer is Windows 7...

Did you check? I can't remember when this was really added  (I know it was not in XP. My next was W7, skipped w8.

I spent quite a while yesterday poking at the show computer and could not find anything like that.  You can set levels on individual programs, but can't (that I could find) any way to force at the OS level which output for each program to use.  This computer is Win10 and I see what you were talking about here.

I successfully set the default to use the SoundBlaster and manually set Zara to use the External speaker.  That is working fine.  Now to wire in the "Zara mute" control...
