MMW and Bluetooth Speaker

Post by kawika »

I'm trying to get MMW to play through an external speaker that's connected via Bluetooth. All other programs play through the speakers fine, but MMW doesn't for some reason. I've poked around the Options and can't find anything amiss there. I do get sound, but only through the speakers in my laptop. Please don't make me use Groove Music. Is there something I'm missing?

Check what Audio Device the enabled Output Plug-in is using under Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins. If set to Primary or Default MediaMonkey should switch along with the system (Windows).

This is handled better in MediaMonkey 5: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHel ... ing_Output

It was set to WASAPI output. Switched it to DirectSound and SUCCESS!

Thanks!

That likely means you had WASAPI set to use a specific Audio Device on your PC instead of the default device.
