LOTRO Audio settings

(1 vote)
Written by Dave Taylor   
Saturday, 12 May 2007

I have a lovely USB headset which I'll use to voice chat in LOTRO with when I finally join a fellowship, but I went into the audio settings in LOTRO to set it up, I got confused, because selecting the headset for the voice didn't stop the in game music coming out of my speakers.

There must be an easy way to switch between speakers and headphones

I finally realised that it was my error and that the game sound is determined by the default audio device in Windows Vista. The sound device here is purely for voice chat. If you want the game audio through the headphones too, then you have to change the default Audio device in Vista and restart the game.

On that note, does anyone know of a Vista Widget or small applet that allows you to swap audio devices easily, rather than going and changing them in the Control Panel. It should be easy to switch between speakers and USB headset and it's not at all.
