Windows update ate my headset default - full path

Morning update. Afternoon silence. Classic. Writing the full path after it worked.

Settings → System → Sound → output device. Re-select the headset. Every big Windows update does this.

Also check exclusive mode off for games. And Discord has its own device picker.

If Discord is wrong and Windows is right, you still sound broken to us. Check both.

Same issue before trial. This path fixed it. Thank you for writing it full.

Re-selected in Windows and Discord. Exclusive off. Works. Leaving this for morning-update people.

Linking soft-support for trial week. Voice panic is common. Fixes are usually boring.
