help with separating audio output to two displays

rusty-shackz · Sep 4, 2015

I am brand new to Tom's Hardware and i spent five minutes trying to figure out what forum to post this in and I honestly have no idea, so if someone could help with that it would be appreciated.

I have a monitor hooked up by DVI to my desktop and I use my speakers plugged into the audio jack in the back. I also have my HDTV hooked up by hdmi to my desktop. I would like to know how I can have the program that is displayed on the TV play its audio through that, and the program that is displayed on my monitor to play audio through the speakers with the audio jack. i followed a YouTube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV46UXLsVW4) that told me to change things in my audio settings and this did not help. Can anyone please help me with this?

Thank you

EDIT: i now have the both the tv speakers and my speakers playing now but they are playing the same audio. i'd like what's on the tv to stay there and what's on the speakers to be what's playing on my monitor

Ah, the old separate audio sources question for Windows. The video you looked at is likely similar to what will be in the post, if what you tried did not work, you may need to read a bit more to find what works for your setup.

i've been through what you just sent and none of this has helped me at all still :/ from what I understand there is absolutely no way to do this through windows. You need Chevolume, or Virtual Audio Cable, and although Chevolume has been updated to work with windows 10 it is still not working for me. Neither does the download for virtual audio cable work for me. I am really at my wit's end with this problem, I don't know what else to do.

Another option is to use a program for playback of the media that can select the audio output it uses in the program itself. Could not tell you which ones do that though, VLC may.

Well, some programs let you choose (override) the selected audio device you can use for their output. You could let us know which programs you want to send to which output devices.

Example: Winamp, Media Player Classic (through any audio plugin) and some games. If you install LAV, the audio codec lets you choose the audio device independently.

I don't know if you want something more specific than that, but Windows doesn't provide an actual interface to select programs and output devices independently.

Cheers!

EDIT: Added examples.
