hello, i have a problem with win11.
in older versions when i switched audio devices in right bottom corner ( lets call it "sound menu" ,it is not windows sound settings) then all programs start to use that device, when i switched to another device - all programs used that another device ( i know that i can set different device in some programs, it is not a thing i am asking about ) in win11 when i change audio output device ( i have speakers and headphones) it changes only in programs that dont have own audio device setting (browser, media player etc) . example - i use TeamSpeak program to communicate with people and i set in settings to use default device. but when i change win11 audio device in "sound menu" it does not change in TeamSpeak, as there is another device as default one. in older Windows versions all programs used same device which i choose in "sound menu" , how can i do the same in win11 ?
pls avoid of explaining me how to set a default device , default communication device etc, i need to use ONE device for all apps at the same time , NOT separate devices for each app and NOT to set default device for each app

    Hello,

    It is affected by specific applications. Win10 and Win11 have different kernels, so application vendors have to call distinct functions to choose a voice device. You may update your application and ask for help in their community.
