When ever I change the output device on windows from wired headphones to wired speakers apple music doesn't update the output device. This also applies to bluetooth devices as well. Is there anyway to fix it or change it manually?
Apple Music version: 1.4.4.41
Windows 11 Home version: 23H2
Windows, Windows 10
With previous iTunes versions you had to change the default output device in the playback settings, from "Windows Audio Session" to "Direct Sound". With the new version there's no option for the default output device. So now I have no clue what we're supposed to do. The only option is to restart iTunes every time you change the output device.

If I end the AMPLibraryAgent task I get a "something went wrong" with the Apple Music app and it closes. The only fix I've found is to close Apple Music, switch the audio output, then reopen it. Other apps cope fine, so it's Apple's usual don't care programming for Windows users.
I found a fix! You have to open your task manager (hold down the ctrl+shift keys and press the esc key right above them. Or just go to the windows search menu and search for it) and right click on top of AMPLibraryAgent (should have the apple music logo next to it) and hit end task. Try changing your audio output and reopen it and it should work. Hopefully they'll find a more convenient fix soon
This is indeed most annyoing. Apple needs to fix this ASAP. What is the right way to provide this feedback to Apple in a way they take note of it?
This is happening to me too, and it's was always an issue with iTunes. I've never found a fix.
Nah the best fix I've found is to click I the airplay and switch to chromecast and then back to this pc. Other then that you can go to setting and switch between lossless and high quality to get it to update. Worse case just close the app and open it every time to change
Feedback - Apple Music - Apple I'm going to log it as well.
Ok, I messed around a bit and found if you close the Music app, change the output, and then reopen it. The output will be same. This does mean you lose your queue and you have to refind your song but it seems to be the only way.
Wish there was a button or a script that checks to see if the output has changed every time a song is played or resumed, or if it just had an audio switcher within the app but it's Apple.
It certainly doesn't work for me, Apple Music just says "Something went wrong" and closes.
Most other Windows applications just play out the default speakers unless set to a specific sound output. Not working like this is very frustrating as you have to shut down the entire application just to start using headphones.
Is it an app or what is it because I can’t find it
This worked for me! Thank you!!! Use this method it works! ^^^
I think the reference to Windows Audio Session was for iTunes, so irrelevant for the Apple Music app.
