I just don't understand why the app lets you choose what digital assistant to use if it could just use the phones default (it can be changed in its settings)
Originally, I chose cortana as the surface audio apps default, but the default was Google.
I've reset multiple times and it seems the Surface audio app overrides any default assistant.
Hi again, Brian Morse!
Just to be clear, your default assistant in the device's settings is Google and you choose that in the Surface Audio app. However, when you tap and hold the earbuds, Cortana still comes up. Right? No matter what steps you take, Cortana still takes over when you use it via the earbuds.
Any further details would greatly help.
