Hey @rburtoff ! Welcome to the Spotify Community.

If Spotify isn't showing all the output devices on your computer, here are some solutions that may help:

1. Check your Windows sound settings
Right-click the sound icon in the taskbar and select Sound Settings.
Under Output, make sure your speakers are selected as the default device.

2. Manually switch the output device in Spotify
In Spotify, go to Settings (click your profile picture in the top right corner).
Scroll down to Audio Quality and, under the Output Device section, see if your speakers are listed.

3. Restart Spotify and your computer
Close Spotify completely and launch it again.
If that doesn't help, restart your computer to make sure there are no system conflicts.

4. Update your audio drivers
Open Device Manager in Windows.
Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
Right-click on your audio driver and select Update Driver.

5. Use Spotify Connect or Bluetooth
If your speakers are Bluetooth or network-connected devices, try using Spotify Connect by clicking the "Devices Available" icon in the player.

6. Reinstall Spotify
If none of the above solutions work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Spotify.

Figured it out; you have to right-click on the speaker icon in the System Tray in the Windows Taskbar, then select Open Volume Mixer, then look for Spotify and set the Output Device to Default (or to the one you want to use).
