Is there something one can do to "activate" bluetooth speakers during runtime?

I've noticed with my bluetooth speakers, when I turn on the speakers and then run my game, the speakers will activate correctly, but when I run the game first and THEN turn on the speakers, they will stay silent.

Is this normal behavior or are my speakers just weird? If it's the former, is there something from within Game Maker that can be done to "activate" speakers that are switched on late?

This sounds more like an operating system thing than a speaker thing or GM thing to me. Your game binds to the default audio device upon startup, so if your speakers aren't on, well, then they won't be the default audio device (or any sort of connected audio device at all, for that matter).


There is no default functionality that lets you specify the audio device to output to from within your game. If you'd like to see this added, please file a feature request:

You could probably also write an extension for it.
