Description

Would it be possible to specify an audio output device used for notifications and such, and a separate audio device to use for video and voice calls?

The use case I'm thinking of using headphones only when on a call, but the laptop/desktop speakers otherwise. It would be ideal if the notification sounds came out through my speakers, but when I make a call it uses the headphones.

Currently I have headphones selected so I can make calls easily, but I don't hear the notification sounds that often as I don't generally wear the headphones unless I'm on a call. I play music and notification sounds from other applications through the speakers.

*Maybe only possible on the desktop/electron version?*
