Can we get an audio output selection?

I play Overwatch quite a bit on my free time, however I also run netflix off of my computer and have that playing on my "third" monitor (50" tv) for my girlfriend when she's over. Some games have the selection in the audio portion of the settings to choose which device you would like the game to play though, and in these games I can have netflix running through my computer speakers for her, and the game running through my headset for me.

Some games that don't have that selection I have been able to set my default audio device in the windows settings to the headset, start the game, minimize, change the default device back, and the game will still run through the headset while netflix doesn't, but OW won't let me cheat it that way. :)

    We'd like to add this option sometime in the future. There's a limitation with the version of an audio library that we use which prevents us from adding it now. Sorry about that. Cheers.
