Question

Premiere Pro takes over audio when using headset

Hi!

My issue is somewhat similar to this one: Re: I can't hear the audio in Adobe Premiere Pro

However, I have made it work and I can alter between a bluetooth headset and speakers...manually. Each time I have to change the audio hardware. Therefore, when I show a video to others in the office, I need to manually change the audio hardware. Is there a fix where I may simply let Premiere Pro send the music through the computer and then let the computer deciede headset and speaker, like "in the good old days" =P . I wich I could simply turn of the headset and then play the edit to the others with sound. Any pointers?

Second, just now I imported a JPG file to the project while listening to Spotify. As soon as I draged the file to the project, Spotify stopped playing and Premiere Pro took over the audio to the headset. It activates the background sound (BOSE QC35) when Premiere Pro takes over of suspends Spotify. Therefore, I cannot listen to other music while editiing.

Regards, semi old fart wishing for "the good old times in Premiere Pro" =P

Update - Other symptoms:

If I play a song on Spotify then start up Premiere, it won't fully load until I turn off the headset.

When I played a song on Spotify, went to Premiere then dragged a JPEG from an explorer window into the project in Premiere, it became semi white and did not respond until I turned off the headset. After the headset if turned off, Premiere works normally.

Went on Chrome, turned the headset on, went back to Premiere and then Premiere took over and triggered the background noise in my headphones and stopped playing from spotify. The background noise thing is the same as when I call with my phone.

Just tried to switch over to the phone and it worked ok-ish. A bit og cut's/lag to begin with. Went back to Premiere and it got semi white and did not respond.

Currently...it drives me mad! I need to block out the background noise in the office and get this project done today. Curses...

My recommendation is to connect a set of speakers with a headphone jack to the analog or digital outputs of the motherboard or installed soundcard, and connect headphones to that jack on the speakers.

This works pretty flawlessly every time.

Hi Jim! Thank you for the tip. After going wireless, a wired option is unfortuneatly not the most preferred It worked with wireless until a recent update in Premiere
