I am trying to play a sound and talk on Skype at the same time. The problem is that Skype seems to be blocking the line, so when I am on Skype talking to someone and playing a game, the sounds from the game doesn't come at my phones, instead they are played from my notebook speakers… When the call is over the sound come back to my headphones.
Is there a configuration to change it? I want to hear both peoples voice and game sounds on the same device (on my phones)…
Repro steps:
- Have a headphones plugged
- Configure Skype to use the headphones
- Start a music
- Make a call
Result: The music will be played on another device and skype will take the primary device for the call blocking other sounds on this device.
Expected result: Both sounds to come from the same device.
My sound configurations are like this
I cannot set the default device as Independent Dual Headphones
, the system doesn't allow me. The other option is Speakers and Dual Headphones
. I think this device is a problem, I think I need to somehow disable the speakers or find a way to run an application in a way it will use the Independent Dual Headphones
instead. What can I do?
