Trouble with USB Headphones

Post by TheUnremarkableHulk » Tue Mar 09, 2010 12:57 am

For some reason Audacity's audio output isn't going through the USB headphones I use. I use these because my laptop's speakers suck ass, and I can't really get a good idea of what a recording sounds like without them. Other sounds seem to be going through the headphones, but Audacity will only playback through my speakers. Any ideas?

Open Audacity and look in "Edit menu > Preferences > devices" and set the playback device to USB.
