I was able to figure what I needed to do to have VoiceOver directed through my USB headphones while all other sounds are routed to the speakers connected via the audio jack. For those that might be interested (and to help set this in my memory by enumerating the following steps) here’s how it’s done:
- In Preferences/Sounds set output to the desired device - in my case it’s the headphone port (not to be confused with the USB headphones) but rather the headphone (or audio) 3.5 mm jack. This will direct all sounds to whatever is connected to that jack (in my case, LogicTech speakers). - To have VoiceOver directed through the USB headphones bring up the VoiceOver Utilities (VO+F8). Activate the “Sounds” category in this utility, then tab to the Pop-Up that let’s you identify the output device. and select the desired device. A slight caveat here, since my LogicTech headphones also provide a microphone I have the Sounds/Input (Preferences) set to the LogicTech headphones. I mention this because it may present some confusion that the Sounds/Output in Preferences is set to the audio jack while setting Sounds/Input to the LogicTech headphones. This while needing to make a special specification to route VoiceOver through the LogicTech headphones via the VoiceOver Utilities Sounds category. Hope this isn’t too awful confusing! **************** - Bill - "The problem with people who have no vices is that you can be pretty sure they are going to have some pretty annoying virtues." - Elizabeth Taylor, 20th Century Screen Actress, (1932-2011) -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
