Click Windows Key + R, enter the following in the Open input:

MMW5 will start, ignore all configured audio output settings, and start playback using the default Windows audio device.
Command-line /Play Parameter Does Not Honor Settings [#20574]

Re: Command-line /Play Parameter Does Not Honor Settings
Hi,
testing it now with the latest build 5.1.0.2832 and it works fine and does respect the audio output settings.
Be it:
Options > Player > Streaming > Play to
or
Options > Player > Audio Output (plug-ins)
Which build did you test? And which settings isn't honored for you?

Re: Command-line /Play Parameter Does Not Honor Settings
Version 5.0.263. I have reproduced this issue numerous times today. My output setting are WASAPI exclusive; however, command line execution always under all circumstances ignores this and outputs to Windows 11 default audio output.
I also passsed the INIFILE command line paramater pointing to my local:
%APPDATA%\Roaming\MediaMonkey5\MediaMonkey.ini
This resulted in no change of behavior. MMW5 still ignored audio output setting and sent audio to Windows 11 default audio. When I click Stop followed by Play again, it then output audio to the correct device -- WASAPI exclusive.

OK, replicated with the WASAPI/exclusive mode to another device, thanks!

It seems like the /Play parameter in MMW5 ignores configured audio output settings and plays through the default Windows audio device.

Yes, this will be fixed in the next build (2833+)
