Configurable Audio Options (Multiple Devices)

[jedra 11]

I have raised a feature request in the tracker for audio. The text in the tracker explains my thoughts...

"I would like to see in game options that allow you to better configure the audio options. Rather than Arma 3 using the 'default' input and output, I would like to be able to configure game audio and chat audio through different devices.

I know that a lot of people use Mumble and Teamspeak but for a lot of public matches this is simply not always viable.

For instance, I use a headset much like you get on the xbox (one speaker mono, with arm microphone). This is obviously no use for game sound, but is ideal for chat."

In an ideal world I would like to hear my game audio through my main speakers and the chat through my headset. This works really well when using TS or Mumble, and should really be configurable in game too.

Sounds like a good idea for me. For people who like to record gameplay videos, it can be handy to have the game output to one virtual audio cable, while a Teamspeak or Skype call outputs to another. That way, they can be recorded separately and tweaked later to ensure a good volume level.

I fully support this idea. It'd be nice to set the VON stuff to a headset, and game sounds to speakers, or vice versa. And of course it'd make things simpler for Ventrilo/TS/Mumble users. Customizability like this is one of those details that a lot of people don't think of often, but appreciate.
