No audio device selector in audio settings

I use my TV to play Assetto Corsa via an HDMI cable whith sound support. But, in Asetto Corsa's audio settings I cannot select on which audio device the game's sounds should be played on. Default are my small PC speakers, which are far from the TV, so I would like the sounds played back by the TV. For this I always have to set the TV as default playback device before playing, of course sometimes I forget, have to stop the game, change the default audio device then start the game again. After playing I have to change it back to PC speakers (and remember to do so).

Pretty please add an audio device selector to audio settings (like Skype for instance or video playback softwares like PotPlayer).

I have a similar setup like you !

I wanted this also for a looooong time !

Teamspeak has a great solution and I don't see why AC shouldn't have it too !

I just found a possible solution to this: buy a USB headset, set it as default in audio settings and use it while playing. When finished playing, just unplug it and windows will automatically switch to the next available device (the PC speakers). When plugging it back, the USB headset will become again the preferred device.

The question is: does anybody have this setup? Because in my case I am not sure that when unplugging the USB headset, which audio device will be the default (PC speakers or the TV via HDMI).

 

Ok, I can now confirm the above workaround to work as expected:
- with usb headset unplugged, I set the PC speaker and webcam mic as default (at my desk both)
- plug in the USB headset and set both the headphones and the mic as default
(only had to do this once!)
Now every time I plug in my USB hub (wheel + shifter + headphones connected to it) I automatically have sound via the headphones and I'm ready to play. When I unplug it, the audio automatically switches back to PC speakers and webcam mic. Yeah!

FYI: the headset is a Kingston HyperX Cloud II (the first version is not USB!)

 

From the release notes of v1.7: "Added audio device selector on Audio App. If saved device is not there, main device will be used"
Thank you Kunos, you guys rule!

 

Ok, I was not really happy that the audio device selector was an app, but I accepted it...
But now, I select the device in the app, I have to quit to the launcher, then get back in the game for it to work. How can I put it nicely? It is not user friendly at all!
Why can't just have the audio device selector in Options -> Audio? Can't be that hard...

P.S. I am a C++/.NET/Java developer myself, so I know some about it...

 

The reason for it is that there were issues for some setups when the device change happened instantly.

Read that in the release notes, but then they should have moved the device switching in the launcher, so you are not forced to start the game, change device, quit the game, then start the game again, just because you wanted to use your headphones...
