How to have 2 different sound output devices

Question

Alright, so I have 2 screens, and what I want to do is have Windows split the sound of the two screens to two different headsets,

for example: Screen-A will send its sound to Headset-A and Screen-B will send its sound to Headset-B.

If that's possible and someone might know how one can do it, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

This can be only achieved using a third-party application. The only application I know that has this feature is "Actual Multiple Monitor", unfortunately, it is a paid application.

If you want to know more about it, you can find it here:

Another option is to bind applications to an audio device, so application A will play the sound on monitor A and application B will play the audio on monitor B, but changing the application from monitor A to monitor B will not change the audio output. It is not exactly what you want, but at least you can use separate audio devices.

To do it, open, right-click the volume icon > Open volume mixer > under "Apps" select the down arrow to expand the application you want to change the audio device and change it on "Output device". If the application doesn't show on the list, open it and play some sound.

I was having this problem and was able to find a round about solution.

In the “sound” settings go to “advanced sound options” option there you should see a list of “app volume” on the side of the application you want to move the sound to a second monitor click on the “default” pull down tab and then click the audio device output you want.
