Troubleshooting

Application Audio Settings

Applications must use Windows’ default audio devices.
Configure each application to use “Default” for both input and output.

Examples:

• Discord: Settings → Voice & Video → Set devices to “Default”
• Spotify: Settings → Audio → Output Device → “Default”

Devices Not Showing

• Ensure devices are enabled in Windows Sound settings.
• Refresh device list in Audio Deck.
• Reconnect the device.

Profile Not Switching

• Confirm the devices in the profile still exist.
• Ensure devices are enabled.
• Recreate the profile if needed.

Stream Deck Button Issues

• Test batch files manually.
• Confirm the application path.
• Ensure the profile name matches exactly.
• Use --list to verify names.

Configuration File

Profiles are stored at:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\AudioDeck\profiles.json

Backup this file to save your configuration.
