Sound output selection

[pvjulien]

I usually use Radiant Player with a USB DAC and began to experience problems with the sound output selection. Basically, the sound played via Radiant doesn't change regardless of the output I select in the sound preferences. For instance, even if I select the USB DAC, whatever Radiant plays will continue playing through the speakers whereas other applications will channel the sound correctly to the DAC.

The problem started to occur on a new computer installation and since I never had this problem before on my previous computer, I decided to do some testing. As it happens, the culprit appears to be the iTunes 12.7 update. Radiant was working well on my old computer and the minute I installed update 12.7 I began to have the same symptoms with sound output selection.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this behaviour and what could fix it?

Does the same thing happen if you use Google Play Music in the browser (Chrome)?

I have the same issue, which I just noticed for the first time today. No matter which output I choose in System Preferences, it will always play through my laptop speakers. Other apps on my Mac play through my Behringer audio interface. I also recently updated iTunes to the latest version, but I can't remember if I've tried to use my audio interface since then. It's possible that has something to do with it, I guess.

👍 would also like to use external audio card as selected in Audio MIDI Settings

Similar problem. Audio only from internal speakers, tried application restart and system reboot. Now I have no audio from Radiant Player. Audio behaves as expected from Chrome browser and Preview.

Same thing here. I have speakers through my monitor/HDMI and Radiant Player will only go through the internal audio. Not a problem with Google Play in chrome, nor in other music players, such as iTunes.

I'm having the same issue. I'm on OSX El Capitan, version 10.11.6. I, too, have that itunes update - 12.7.0.166 to be precise.

@tjanson Yeah, it's the weirdest thing. It's only with radiant player. Playback is fine through Chrome and in other applications.

@tjanson, my playback is also fine with all other applications I tried, iTunes included. Sound selection output of Play Music works fine in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. The problem appears to be limited to Radiant Player. To also be more precise, I have iTunes update 12.7.0.166.

Same here:
iTunes: 12.7.0.166
Mac: 0.12.6

Thanks

Hi !

I have the same issue, but I have different versions :
iTunes : 12.6.1.25
macOS : 10.12.15

so I can't use anymore Radiant Player :/

[valrus]

I just encountered this as well; also iTunes 12.7.0.166, macOS 10.12.6.

Problem solved.

Same issue. Tried on two different macs. Both on the same versions. This is the first time I've tried selecting a different output device with radiant so I can't speak to past experiences.

macOS: 10.12.6
itunes: 12.7.0.166
radiant: 1.11.4

Same here. On the Google Chrome browser, Google Play Music plays though the audio device the OS currently selects. Actually all sound goes there except that the sound from Radiant Player always goes to the "Internal Speakers" of my laptop.

I completely deleted /Applications/Radiant Player.app and re-installed it, but the same problem remains.

I then quit Radian Player, deleted ~/Library/Application Support/Radiant Player, and re-launched Radiant Player. I had to login to Google again. But, anyway, the same problem remains.

Having the same problem and it's driving me crazy. Deleted cookies, reinstalled, restarted...but still, it will only play through the internal speakers. This is a recent issue; I never had any problems switching to other audio outputs until the last week or so.

Same problem - started when iTunes updated automatically (worst product ever!)

Google Play Music in Chrome works as expected.
