Change primary sound output when launching Big Picture Mode

[RPZoki]

I'm a fan of the recent udpate to Big Picture mode, I think it's made it more convenient for me to play PC games on my TV. It's nice only having to get off my couch to turn on my PC, after, that I only have to press the guide button on my controller to enter Steam and it'll automatically change the primary display from my PC monitor to the TV.

I think the big thing I'm missing is an option to have Steam Big Picture automatically switch the default audio from my PC speakers to the TV speakers (and then back again when I quit Steam). Currently having to go through Windows settings to switch back and forth is a pain.

I hope Steam adds this capability soon.

Thanks,

I feel like this should be an option at least in big picture settings to manually change the system output. Automatically change it like you can primary display would be great

This does appear to be working for me. Thanks!
