Follow the web player selection request
A computer may play a system notification through a television while a browser player fails to move its own audio there. The HTML media setSinkId method selects an output device for that element and returns a promise. MDN describes secure context and permission constraints. Therefore the operating system default output and a website specific selection are two observations to record separately, rather than assuming they always change together.
Use the error to narrow the task
The documented failure names distinguish a blocked selection policy, an identifier which matches no audio output, and a failed switching operation. In a hypothetical test, a saved device choice is attempted after a dock has been disconnected. A not found result asks a different question from a permissions rejection while the dock remains attached. Preserve the exception name and request a fresh permitted selection instead of endlessly reapplying an old opaque identifier.
Keep permission and support visible
A nondefault device may require the user to select it in the browser prompt, and a page embedding policy can restrict speaker selection. Check the actual browser capability and HTTPS context before presenting a control which claims to work everywhere. Compare one deliberate selection, its result and the sound heard from the chosen output. This procedure is for a web application developer; it does not establish that a particular commercial streaming app offers output selection or that a remote service is responsible for a local routing failure.
