Is there an easy way without downloading any software for it to have my game audio go through my speakers and my headphones while my discord and such are only through my speakers?

I know there are software solutions for this but I rather just have an easy fix without any software.

If the applications themselves support choosing the audio device, then yes. Otherwise, no.

i know that in windows 10 version 1803 you can change the audio output and input devices, but you cant have something output trough 2 devices and something else trough one of them .
Basically you could have the game on just speakers and discord on just headphones or the other way around

Tried this yesterday real quick and my audio went either through my headset which is the default playback device or the secondary ouput I put in that screen.
