Selecting the audio device to play sound through about shattered-pixel-dungeon HOT 5 CLOSED

You're misinterpreting that comment, which was about the game responding to when Windows switches audio devices (e.g. when headphones are unplugged), not about adding a selector in the game for choosing an audio device. I'm afraid I don't have any plans for such functionality.

Shattered's game library is responsible for that layer of audio output, I'm unfortunately not familiar with audio on linux, but there must be some reason why Shattered thinks one of the devices is your default one when it is in fact the other.

Got it. Thanks for the quick response!

Fair enough. I can take a look sometime when I get a chance. By "game library" you mean some game engine lib? I noticed references to https://libgdx.com, e.g. in https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/blob/425c90135d7d666dd1f4715f165dca91a7fb449e/SPD-classes/src/main/java/com/watabou/noosa/audio/Sample.java. Thanks!

Thanks for understanding, and I hope you're able to figure your issue out.

Shattered uses libGDX, which in turn uses LWJGL3/OpenAL for audio.

Thanks for the hint! For the record, I eventually tracked this down to OpenAL, which for some reason chose the wrong default device. Running openal-info confirmed this. This led me to re-discover that my Arch Linux installation was running both PulseAudio and the newer PipeWire. How those both played with each other, I do not know. I think they've been side by side for a year+ now and while everything else didn't mind, I assume OpenAL was the first to default to PipeWire, which for whatever reason defaulted to the other audio device I had. I followed the instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire to remove PulseAudio entirely. Then picked my primary sound device from the GNOME sound picker and problem solved. SPD's sounds now come out from the correct speaker.

Glad to hear that you got it working!
