How to change iTunes audio output

Hello all, I am trying to find a way to change iTunes audio output or find a program to do so. I'm trying to stream iTunes into Ventrilo but still be able to keep everything else on my headset. I have tried VAC but thats still requiring me to set that as default. Any help??

I had this problem too, when I couldn’t find any output settings in  the preferences, I took to the internet, turns out it’s not in there.  Then I was off again to scour the internet for a fix but when the  internet offered ****absolutely no real fixes**** I knew I had to come  up with a fix of my own, took me about an hour to come up with the fix.  Just so u know I’ve only tested this on windows 8, but theoretically it  should work on any system. The end result of this fix is that iTunes  will play to a specific audio output, chosen by you, and it will keep  playing to that output regardless of your systems' current audio output,  which can be changed to anything you want without affecting iTunes  playback. Time to apply the fix; to do this: *Open iTunes* *Goto edit  menu and open preferences* *Click playback* *Find "Play Audio  Using:"option and Change "Direct Sound" to "Windows Audio Session*  *Click ok and close iTunes* *Go into your Control Panel open sound and  change your system audio to the output u want for itunes* *Open iTunes  back up*. Now itunes will keep playing to the output u had your system  set to when u started it, you did it Congratulations!!!

End  Result Example to clarify: let’s say I want iTunes to play to my TV and  everything else to my headset, ill open Sound and set my TV output as  my default device. Next I'd raise the volume to max, this gives iTunes'  internal volume full range, it's much easier this way. Then I'd open  iTunes, next I’ll go back into sound and set my headset as my default  everything...      Last Tip: for better sound: change the bitrate and  bits per sample options to their maxes, these 2 options are located  directly below the "Play Audio Using:" option in your iTunes  Preferences, restart iTunes to apply the change.

Any  and All Gratitude is Appreciated, any1 whom this works for that doesnt  use windows 8 leave a comment confirming it works on that sysytem, Guru Yoda out...

Okay, I tried this as instructed on my pc running Windows 8 and it works initially.  However, when I change my default audio back to, in your example "headset", in the control panel then the next time I restart Itunes it changes again back to "headset" rather than the output I want it to continue to use, which happens to be digital optical.  I even went back into Itunes after I had it using the option I want and changed it to "Play Audio Using:  Direct Sound" again but it did not keep the settings I wanted upon restart.

So I'm assuming this fix only works if you never close Itunes.

yep,  every time you close itunes you need to do this again,  its a hassle but the only solution I have found until apple gives you the ability to hard select an output device

Thank you Grand Master Yoda! you the man are!

Thanks Guru_Yoda Worked On Windows 10.

Thank you so much!  I was trying to get the exact opposite outcome as you.  So, I reversed the directions you gave.  Now Itunes works the way I want it to.  Thanks again!

Thanks, Guru_Yoda. Thanks for your answer to metalcruedude's issue as I had the same problem. I'm using Windows 10. I needed to change from my Dell internal speakers to my headset and just changing on my laptop having already opened iTunes didn't work. Your tip did. I wish Apple would fix this, but then I'm just grateful I can use iTunes on my PC.
