Change the **system-wide default** audio output device\n\nIf you want *all* apps (including Brave) to use a different sound device:\n\n1. Click the **speaker icon** in your Taskbar (bottom-right).\n2. Either:\n   - If you're on Windows 11: Click the arrow (>) next to the volume slider to see the list of connected audio output devices. Select the one you want. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/windows-11-change-sound-output-device/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Or, right-click the speaker icon \u2192 **Open Sound settings** (or go to *Settings \u2192 System \u2192 Sound*) \u2192 under **Output**, choose your desired device and click \u201cSet as default\u201d. ([microcenter.zendesk.com](https://microcenter.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/32791786735255-How-to-Fix-Windows-Audio-Playing-from-the-Wrong-Device-Windows-11?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Assign a **different output just for Brave**\n\nIf you want YouTube in Brave to come out through one device (e.g. speakers) while other apps use another (e.g. headphones), Windows lets you do per-app routing:\n\n1. Make sure Brave is open and playing sound (e.g. a YouTube video).\n2. Go to *Settings \u2192 System \u2192 Sound*.\n3. Scroll down to **\u201cApp volume and device preferences\u201d** (on Windows 10) or **\u201cVolume mixer\u201d / \u201cAdvanced sound options\u201d** (on Windows 11). ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/sound-output-devices-app-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n4. In that list of apps, find **Brave**. From its drop-down, select the specific output device you want for Brave. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/sound-output-devices-app-windows/?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Close that settings page; Brave\u2019s sound should now route to the chosen device even if the system default is different.\n\n---\n\n## 3. Confirm Brave/browser doesn\u2019t override settings\n\n- Brave doesn\u2019t have its own built-in control for selecting audio output devices like some music or video players do. It follows what Windows tells it to do. ([community.brave.com](https://community.brave.com/t/sound-output-to-bluetooth-speakers/438251?utm_source=openai))  \n- If after switching, Brave\u2019s audio still goes to the wrong device, check:\n  1. The Brave tab isn\u2019t muted, and the site isn\u2019t muted via *brave://settings/content/sound*.  \n  2. You\u2019ve restarted Brave once after changing Windows audio routes. Some apps need a restart.  \n  3. The device you want is connected, enabled, and selected as output in the per-app settings.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you\u2019re on **Windows 10 or Windows 11** (or another OS like Mac or Linux), I can walk you through the exact steps for your version. Do you want me to show those?"
