Re: Select different devices for audio and microphone

When my default headset is having issues, I switch to the 'Audio Device Settings' and then set the default playback device and the default recording device to different devices (mic on camera and speakers on monitor) by right-clicking on the sound tray icon on the taskbar. I have Windows 10, but it should work in earlier versions. Sometimes I encounter issues when doing that from inside an ongoing call or meeting; sometimes I have to leave and rejoin after changing the settings outside the call itself.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I already set those settings but Skype seems to ignore them.

    There's no signal in the microphone input when I test it from the Skype settings with that configuration as I am require to select one device anyway.
