You can use this application to get different results of the audio inputs on various devices. With this Audio Router, you can get another audio playing on your headphones and speakers, provided you arrange different input sources for the audio sources.
Audio Router allows you to route your audio from one device to another and listen to audio on your speaker, headphones, or other devices that you might have chosen. Windows will normally send your audio to just one of your audio outputs, the default setting. That’s what happens even when you have several devices on your computer.
However, with an application like Audio Router, you’ll be able to route the sound to several output devices, which might be connected to separate and different sources.
Open Source App that Gets the Job Done
You can consider using it if you don’t want to spend money on other apps that do the same thing. In essence, it’s free to use as an open-source application. But you must know that the app doesn’t get regular updates anymore, which might concern some. But it will still get the job done admirably despite that fact.
When you first launch the app, it will show you all the current applications generating sound. And you’ll also be able to see which devices can play the sounds these apps make.
For that reason, you’ll be able to choose which device will play what sounds, making it easy to control the audio.
Simple but Intuitive UI
One of the best things about this app is its simplicity. It has a rudimentary UI. It doesn’t have some advanced settings that some other similar apps have. For example, if you have several programs running, you can customize their sounds and send the audio to one of the devices connected to your computer.
One issue with the app is that you can’t minimize the application to the system tray, as you can only run it with the window open. It means that you can either open or close it, although you’ll get used to it.
Conclusion
Audio Router is an application that helps you redirect audio to different devices simultaneously if you have several connected.
Audio Router for Windows is an application that allows you to select a specific output for different apps. It is a free downloadable program that does not take space on your computer while being a one-stop shop for audio settings on all your programs.
Features:
- It can be used while running two different applications at once.
- It does not need to be installed to your computer, it can be downloaded and extracted from a zip file.
- Can change the volume levels for different programs and will save those settings.
- Can remember if you want to use speakers or headphones for specific apps.
There are other programs available like VoiceMeter Banana or CheVolume, but the interface for AudioRouter is the most simple and straight forward to use. It is a portable program that can be used on different devices, so it does not need to be re-downloaded several times for different devices, nor does it take any precious computer storage space. It will allow a computer user to play a video game while browsing music at the same time while being able to control the specific audios for each application. If one is too overbearing, it can easily be fixed, while allowing the user to still enjoy both applications at the same time. It will also allow you to play one application through your headphones while using a different one through your speakers. If you want to personally be listening to something, others in your room will still be able to experience audio for a different application at the same time, while not being too overbearing. It also works for Bluetooth-compatible speakers and any type of audio hardware. When downloaded for Windows, it gives you control that VLC Player or Windows Media Player do not offer, the two default programs for Windows computers.

This is a great program that solves a lot of problems for me. It is simple to use, does not make a lot of demands on your system, and saves the settings for different applications. I have come to rely on this program a lot, and it’s free!

This is a really helpful product for people that like to multitask on their computer. If you like to play video games and listen to music at the same time it will control the volume for both applications. This is something that I would be interested in installing on my computer.

I think Audio Router for Windows is beneficial in helping me make music. The usage of the software allows me to transfer audio to a digital audio workstation, or DAW, and work with it in various ways. For example, I can put effects on the audio, as well as combine audios from different outputs into one cohesive mix. This allows me to have more options in creating audios and music than ever before.

This particular router amazes me. It allows you to control and transfer audio through multiple streams and devices. It gives the user all control over the transfer of audio.

This is a fairly useful software especially with some programs that do not let you reroute audio. Unfortunately some windows programs may be dated or limited and may not allow you to customize your sound output device. Thankful there is a solution as this program allows full customization in regards to how you want to output your sound. It’s truly a lifesaver for people who like projecting sounds to external speakers, projectors, or even smart home devices

Audio Router which is used for route the audio from any windows application to digital audio workstation application which is giving you the control of system’s audio. If the system can’t choose the default application for playing audio in that case audio router is used for play that file, for playing the file need a audio router. Audio router which is used to different audio output depending on the different applications. This application is used to create complex audio graphs with different input types such as microphone, audio speech, can choose the different effect using equalizer to route the audio as your wish.

A pretty helpful tool for moving audio devices and programs. This can simplify all of your work especially when recording and producing music. My friend uses this and swear by it, it seems a bit complicated for me but i can imagine it would be easy to learn once you give it some time. I like the options it gives you too and seems diverse

Audio Router is a software utility that allows users to route their computer’s audio output to different audio devices. It gives users the ability to easily switch between playback devices, balance volume levels between multiple audio sources, and set custom default audio devices. It provides an intuitive user interface and supports a wide range of audio devices, including speakers, headphones, and virtual audio devices.

Audio Router is an easy to use software that allows you to choose which applications play sound through which audio output. It has a simple user interface and is relatively easy to set up. I have found that it is quite effective for routing audio from multiple applications to different outputs. The software is quite light-weight and doesn’t take up too much RAM or CPU when running. It also allows you to switch easily between multiple audio outputs. I have experienced a few minor bugs while using the software, but they were quickly fixed with the latest update. Overall, Audio Router is a great piece of software for routing audio and I highly recommend it.

Audio Router is a decent way to route sound from one device to another. I found it quite reliable and easy to set up. The audio quality was quite good. It was a bit slow, however, and there were some minor glitches that occurred from time to tyme. All in all, it was a satisfactory experience.

I found Audio Router to be quite useful for routing audio from different applications to different output devices, however I’d have like to see some more advanced features like support for virtual audio devises.

Overall Audio Router was an ok experience, but I had some trouble getting it to work correctly on my system- it seemed to crash a lot.

Get updates and features as Audio Router grows. Build by the community.
Windows lets the user only use one device at a time. It will always route the sound from the default device even if you have multiple sound devices attached to the system, for example, speaker and a headphone etc. Sometimes it becomes convenient to use multiple sound devices for different applications.
There are some hardware solutions for this purpose but if you don’t want to go for a hardware solution, we will discuss about some third-party software applications for the purpose of using different audio devices for different applications.
Routing sound through multiple devices is like using multiple monitors on the same computer. The default volume control utility in Windows 10 isn’t advanced enough to give this control to the users. But Windows 10 Version 1803 will give users more control by allowing the user to set preferred sound device for each application. But even then you will be able to play a single sound output at a time.
Audio Router
Audio Router is a free an open source app for routing audio output to the device of your choice. You can run two or more audio devices at the same time when using Audio Router.
Audio Router is a portable app so you don’t need to install it on your computer. Just download the zip file, extract it to a folder and run “Audio Router.exe” from the folder.
This will show the Windows Volume Mixer like interface with all applications which have taken sound control. If you want a specific application play audio through a non-default device, follow the instructions below:
- Open Audio Router by running “Audio Router.exe”.
- Click the down arrow button under the application of your choice.
Audio Router - Select Route option and then select the preferred audio output device.
Routing audio of an application in Audio Router
Audio Router only detects the audio devices which are active at the time of running the application. I was also not able to save the settings with Audio Router meaning that you have to run Audio Router every time you want to split the audio of the applications.

VoiceMeeter Banana
VoiceMeeter Banana is a wonderful utility which can be used as an advanced audio mixer application in place of the Windows default mixer. Although VoiceMeeter Banana is free to use, it’s pretty complex for first time setups.
The main login behind the functioning of VoiceMeeter Banana is that all the audio is input to VoiceMeeter Banana virtual audio device and then the audio is distributed to the selected output devices through VoiceMeeter Banana virtually.
Download Voice Meeter Banana
After running the setup for the first time, you will need to restart the computer. And after the restart, the first step is to make VoiceMeeter Banana virtual audio device default both for input and output of your computer. This can be done from the sound device settings of your computer.
Now you can open the application and select the output and the applications which need to be routed through different outputs. The configuration of VoiceMeeter Banana can be quite complex and needs a lengthy tutorial which we’ll do some other time.
VoiceMeeter Banana is for advanced users but it has all the juice which is needed for controlling audio of your device.
CheVolume
CheVolume is another paid application which can offer outputting different audio applications through different audio output devices. It’s quite easy to use and you can change the audio output of any running applications instantly.
Download CheVolume
IndieVolume
IndieVolume is another old software created for the purpose of using separate volume controls for separate applications. It’s an old utility and is only designed for Windows XP and Windows 7. If you have older Operating Systems, you may try IndieVolume for extended audio options. Another disadvantage of IndieVolume is that it’s paid but unlike Audio Router, the changes you make will be saved permanently.

Conclusion
I personally only prefer to split the audio among multiple sound devices when I am using more than two monitor screens. This makes sense when you are playing a game on one screen and monitoring or browsing on the other. My personal favorite is Audio Router mainly because it’s easy to use and portable. But for a permanent solution, Voicemeeter Banana is the way to go. For what purpose do you want to use to output different audio from different apps and devices?
