Thread: Sound Routing

I really can't think of too many uses for this sort of app. I have certainly never come across any app to do it.

If you want music on one, you could use bluetooth, but a soundcard will only process one signal at a time...


edit: having said that...

I've been playing with my real-tek settings to no avail. On the advanced settings portion I get no options for playback.

Don't think it's possible in Windows. You can get a program to help in specific situations. For example, Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) creates a virtual audio line. You can use that line as an output source for some music programs like Winamp. It also comes with a program to select sound from an input and play it through an output. So you can have the music in the virtual audio line play through your headset speakers, but all the other Window sounds (like your game) play through your default speakers. Make sense?

I came in to say VAC but found I had been beaten to the punch. I use it for my ham radio stuff and can route sounds to/from my radio to the radio software only, while leaving everything else through my headset. It's kind of a picky program, but it does what I need it to.

I'm going to try it to, let me know if you figure out how to do it with it.
