  • On my system I have speakers built into the monitor plus I use a headset with a mic.
  • Before I login to SL, I change the Windows sound settings to change my sound output from the monitor speakers (GM-34-CWQ) to the headset (Speakers) - see gif - https://gyazo.com/87d5b18817e636cf007faf55077f84fc
  • On the default LL release viewer and Firestorm Viewer, before logging into SL, once I have changed the sound output to "Speakers", ie to put output sound through my headset instead of the monitor speakers, when I am logged into SL, both inworld sounds and voice come through my headset as expected.
Bug
  • However, on the WebRTC Viewer, when I have my Windows sound settings output set to "Speakers" (my headset), the voice sounds still come from my monitor speakers.
  • It is expected that the voice sound comes through my headset.
  • In the viewer Preferences -> Sound & Media -> Voice Input /Output Devices, on the default LL release, I do not have to change the "Output" setting from "Default" to hear voice through my headset.
  • However on the WebRTC Viewer, when the "Output" setting is set to Default, the voice output comes through my monitor speakers. I have to change the "Output" setting to "Speakers" to hear voice through my headset.

  • So it appears that the WebRTC Viewer does not respect the default Windows output setting for voice, but the default LL viewer does.
