Acoustic Birdge output device selection

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I am currently testing Acoustic Bridge and so far have found it to work well and with low latency compared to other solutions.

One feature I'd love to see though is being able to select the output audio device used in the receiver, and only ever to use that device (if its not available, disable the "bridge").

Motivation for this feature request is that I use the software to stream audio to my wireless headphones from other computers, but I would not want it to accidentally stream audio to my speakers for example when the headphones are turned off.  Currently it could happen that ie. in the middle of the night I am doing something on my laptop (the audio "sender") which produces sound and it would start blasting the sound from my desktop speakers (the receiver machine) when I am not using the wireless headphones. Since those computers are in different rooms it could happen without me realising it and it could anger the neighbours :)

I second this request!

I use pro audio interfaces and would like to be able to route streams to correct outputs. I usually send default output to non-connected or muted channel to silence Windows and other apps. Bridge always sends its output to a default output :-(

I support this request as well.

I want to pull in audio from another PC without going via an analogue cable, and send it to a certain device so I can add it in OBS to use in stream and recordings.

When it's going to the default audio device, it will mix in with other audio and can't be saved on its own audio track in recordings or not be sent to the stream while I listen to it at the same time.
