DSDPlus DSDPlus 2.165 unexpected behavior with two audio-out sources

[Jay911]

I'm not sure I'd call this a bug, or even a big deal, but it was just unexpected and caught me off guard.

Workflow: I launched DSD+ with one CC RTL-SDR and one VC RTL-SDR. The VC is configured to give the beep when a voice call (clear or enc) is begun. At some point after I launched DSD+, I plugged in my USB headset. The audio for the voice calls (the decoded P25 audio off the VC) is coming thru the speakers, which is the default playback device of course, but after the headset got plugged in, the voice call beep is played thru the headset (and the voice calls still go thru the speakers). It would make more sense to me if both the beep and the audio stayed with the same audio path (probably the speakers).

Sounds like you've set the output device in DSD+ for the voice traffic (routing to the speakers), however the "beep" is being routed to the default audio device. When you plugged the USB headset in, that caused the default output device to shift from the speakers to the headset, and thus the "beep" was also routed to the headset. That's typical of USB sound devices to steal the default Windows audio output device when plugged in.
