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.

Audio Router is an excellent audio program that allows its users to manage their audio inputs and outputs from different applications to different devices. I got this program when I started streaming for a living. I had a lot of ideas for fun and humorous things that I could do with different sounds. The only problem was, special devices like stream decks were too expensive. That is when I ran into Audio Router. I was able to select which audio-producing applications played on certain devices like speakers and headphones. For example, if someone contributed to the stream and I was preoccupied, I would hear the alert through my speakers without having the audience hear it. The same went for background noise that my microphone would create if I was interrupted. The audience would never hear the interruption, just me, which is important when it comes to delivering a good show.

My favorite feature of this program is the simple user interface and real time changes. It's very much plug and play. The UI is self explanatory and easy to pick up with in a few minutes. The program offers the best in terms of flexibility to meet anyone's audio needs.
