Corsair Void Pro RGB, Audio logic question

[SoN9ne]

I have just purchased a new Corsair Void Pro RGB. Setup was a pain, had to uninstall and install 3 times to get it working as expected (Windows 10). Now that things seem to be in order, I have a question about usage and how audio should switch between headset and main sound (home theater system).

 

I assumed, that when I turned on these headphones, it would take over the output and just be in the headset. The issue I am having, is that I only have one or the other. I cannot have it switch between headset and main sound. Is this expected? I have had other headsets (Turtle Beach) that did this without any issue so I expect this to be expected behavior.

 

Can someone let me know if what I want is a pipe dream? I would like the audio to be my default (home theater) but when I turn on the headphones for it to switch automatically to them and stop output to the home theater. Then when I turn off the headset it switches back.

 

Currently, I have to manually switch between my sound settings and that is not ideal. Plus for the amount I paid, I expect this behavior. If this is not able to, then I will go back to Turtle Beach as they work this way.

 

Hopefully someone can give me some insight in this.

 

Thanks

That should be true for most wireless headsets. Especially those using a wireless dongle. The audio device is actually the dongle, not the headset. So, when it disconnects, audio still outputs to the dongle unless it's manually switched.
