I do it the other way around - cheap dongle set as Windows default,
in-built soundcard for WSJT-X and SDR's as on my PC it's better
resolution etc.
Each PC hardware is probably different but might be worth a look.

There is no need for your feature request. WSJT-X should not be using
the only audio device available to your computer, or put it another
way, X should not be using the windows default audio device.
Add a simple sound card usb dongle (less than $10 on Amazon). Use that
for WSJT-X, use the default Windows audio device for your warnings.
Or...if you have a modern radio with USB interface, use the Radio's
USB interface for both Audio and CAT control in WSJT-X, and use the
computer's default sound card for alerts from WSJT-X
Don't use windows' default audio device (built in audio/sound card in
the computer) for WSJT-X TX and RX

Hello everyone,
I would like to suggest a small but useful improvement for WSJT-X
regarding audio handling.
Currently, WSJT-X uses the system’s default audio output to play
alert
sounds.
In some setups, this can lead to problems: I have noticed, both
personally and among other operators, that when using the same audio
interface for radio transmission and for WSJT-X, the alert sounds may
accidentally be transmitted over the air.
I have observed this behavior both under Windows and Linux.
To prevent this issue, I propose adding an option in the Audio tab of
the configuration menu to allow users to select a specific output
device
for alert sounds, independently of the device used for radio
transmissions.
For reference, Fldigi has provided this capability for a long time,
which helps avoid this kind of problem.
Thank you very much for considering this request, and thank you
for all
the excellent work on WSJT-X.
73,
