Windows update ate headset default - full path that fixed it

Morning update. Afternoon silence. Classic. Full path after it worked.

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

Exclusive mode off for games. Discord has its own device picker - check both.

If Discord is wrong and Windows is right, you still sound broken to us. Both pickers. Always.

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

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

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