Hi All,


The recent thread about separating screen reader output from Zoom has 
motivated me to try some experimenting, but I'm nervous.


My goal is to listen to Narrator or NVDA on an external speaker while 
listening to Zoom on a headset.


So I plugged the speaker into my computer. When I did, all the sound 
started coming out of the speaker.


After some Googling, I hit windows+b to go into the system tray, arrowed 
to the speaker icon, pressed the applications key, pressed enter on Open 
Sounds Menu, and tabbed to and pressed enter on App Volumes and Sound 
Preferences.


I'm not sure what to do next. The dialog I get to seems to be the right 
place. It includes a combo box for sound outputs, a list of active apps, 
and depending on the app with focus, options for sound output, which are 
Default and Speaker/headphones.


The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to have some sound 
come out of the speakers that are built in to the computer and other 
sounds come out of the external speaker.


Is this because I only have one sound card, or is there something I'm 
missing?


Thanks for any wisdom.


Ciao
