So in my games I lose my headset mic for in game chat and it defaults to use the default communications device for in game chats and must manually be changed to default as well. This is because the windows function being used for changing default devices is not the button push at the bottom of the sound panel screen but more like the right click selection for 'set default' that does not change the communications but leaves it behind as default.

If you change default playback and recording to use your headset instead, then the in game chat defaults to the default communications device that gets left behind by voice attack. Then you want to play a game without broadcasting or switch to a racing cockpit using your gaming headset/mic. You set it as the default recording device (umbrella) for broadcasting / gaming and with default speakers. What is actually happening is that if you have a webcam with mic for example. I know voice attack does not change the umbrella of what is considered 'default device'.

Is there no way to actually 'set as default' playback or recording devices without separating the communications device ? Or perhaps voice attack can ad command to also set default communications device in the same way that the 'set default' button works at the bottom of the screen instead the right click function that appears to be used by voice attack. The subsequent result is that both windows 10 and voice attack set a device as default but also selects an alternate device as a 'default communications device'. The right click method also selects or maintains a default communications device, while the clicking on the menu item at the bottom of the screen sets the devices as default only for both subjects. It would appear that voice attack uses the method that is used when right clicking to 'set as default'. Note: Some third-party apps can utilize other devices with special options in their settings and override the system preferences. Other device can be set to mute or to play the same audio stream. This action does not actually do the same thing as the function at the bottom of this screen that says 'set as default'. The default audio output device is a device which Windows 10 is using to play the audio. When you go to the sound panel and right click a device you can then select 'set as default'. Windows 10 has 2 methods to select a default playback or recording device. I am unable to set my main audio device to 24bit To be able to set the default format to 24bit 96khz, you must set the device to stereo, not 7.1 Surround Sound. When I use voice attack to change default audio device, this action also selects a communications device. To fix this please set the main audio as the default audio device, and your communication audio as the default communication device.
