Sound output doesn't switch to a newly selected audio device in Windows

[DrXadium]

Describe the bug

Daktilo does not redirect its sound output to the new default output device on windows if that is changed while the program is running.

(So if I switch to using my headphones for output, playback continues on the external speakers)

To reproduce

1. Download daktilo-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip for windows and run daktilo.exe
2. Run Daktilo in Windows.
3. Change the sound output from speakers to headphones.

Expected behavior

Sounds should start coming from my headphones, not remain coming from my speakers.

Software information

• Operating system: Windows 11 Build 22H2
• Rust version: n/a
• Project version: 0.2.0

Hello, thanks for reporting this! 🐻

Not sure if we can support auto-switching output devices on the fly but one thing we can do is support selecting the device for playback.

So in 6bd8269 I added this feature:

$ daktilo --list-devices
# lists the available devices

$ daktilo --device "sysdefault:CARD=Generic_1"
# plays the sound on the selected device

I hope this helps!
