    Option to select audio-device

    So I bought a new pair of headphones that I wanted to try out with FF14 but when I unplugged them to play with my speakers instead, the sound was completely off. Changed playback devices in Windows to the speakers but still no sound. Had to restart FF14 for the audio to play to my speakers. Can we please have a playback-device option in the audio-settings, like most other games?

    I would love this. Having to relog to switch my sound out is annoying.

    Can you actually switch audio devices with different outputs while they're hot? I have my speakers on a 1/8" jack, and my lovely headset uses optical, for example. My thunderbolt soundcard does not like switching those while there is sound at play. Would it be different if you were just switching between the 1/8" jack on the back to a 1/8" jack on the front?

    I hope this gets sorted, it's only a small issue but when you feel like switching to headphones at night you shouldn't have to quit FFXIV and then load up and login to the client again just for the audio to output to a different source, technically it should be an easy fix.
