Set default audio device in VLC from 5.1 to Stereo?

[Xenogear900]

I want it to automatically use Stereo, not 5.1, but it seems to just pick whatever is first.

how do I set the default audio device to STEREO 2.0, instead of 5.1?

I had the same problem. I can see that it's been a while since you asked, but since I tried to google the solution and came to this thread, I thought I'd post a solution here:

1. Go to VLC settings (ctrl+p).
2. Show all settings (bottom left corner)
3. Under audio, choose Output modules and DirectX and select speaker configuration: Stereo.
4. Save settings!

Thanks for the info. Worked great. I was a bit confounded as to how to get the setting to stick.
