Split Audio Between Two Applications

[Redrooster]

Hey all, it's been awhile since I posted. My uncle asked me a question, on regards of me being the family PC guy. Just to preface, my uncle has a TV and a gaming monitor. He was wondering if you could have a video game playing through your headset and a different application playing a movie on the big TV's speaker?

 

I told him I didn't know personally, but I'd ask the smartest people I know

Media Player Classic Home Cinema  - https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases - allows you to select the device to which it plays sound.

For example, in the past I've used the option to select HDMI output  of video card as sound playback device to have the sound come out a TV and pass audio through hdmi cable to said Tv. 

 

I'm sure other video players (example videolan) have options to select output device.

VLC let’s you select the output device (as mariushm alluded to).

My uncle found a solution to the problem! He changed the application's output device in the sound mixer settings in windows 10.

Thanks for the help, friends :)
