Set audio endpoint devices application specific (programmatically)

Edit (17/01/19):



For further details please check this Stack Overflow question [Set audio endpoint devices application specific (programmatically)].



If you find a solution, feel free to post it on both questions.







An audio endpoint device, from here on referred to as 'endpoint', is a physical or virtual audio output or input device.





With the Windows 10 April Update 1803 the long overdue 'App volume and device preferences' have been introduced. These settings allow more control over audio stream management as it is now possible to set different endpoints for different applications, no matter whether that particular application comes with an endpoint selection or not.



However, there is an issue where the audio of a program, whose endpoint is non-default, is streamed through the default endpoint (or not at all) after it has been closed and launched again, although the endpoint is displayed correctly in the settings:



Issue Recreation





What I'm searching for...



... is a programmatically solution to switch between endpoints, which ideally can be launched in form of a script to set the correct endpoint with an application launch.

I also noticed that it differs from application to application. 'Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare', 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' and 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3' will have no sound whatsoever and 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege' will always playback sound, but only during the loading sequence will the sound be streamed correctly.

While PowerShell itself does not have any direct implementation for this, you could still use PowerShell with some inline C# to make calls to the Core Audio API. There are several examples of such code over StackOverflow:




  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24196166/how-to-mute-an-application-with-powershell

  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21355891/change-audio-level-from-powershell

  • https://stackoverflow.com/questions/255419/how-can-i-mute-unmute-my-sound-from-powershell


None of these examples, however, refer to the parts of API that regulate the output of the application, but I think Microsoft must have expanded the API accordingly in 1803 and it should be relatively easy to find. Be sure to check it first, though, before committing yourself to working with code :)

There are alternatives to CheVolume, some free and some commercial:



EarTrumpet



Downloaded for free from the
Microsoft Store
or from GitHub.
It has a better interface than Microsoft's App volume and device preferences.



See the article
EarTrumpet review: A better alternative to the volume control app in Windows 10.



The sources for EarTrumpet are available on github, and I see that reported issues are being answered. You might try to get in touch with the developer, but also the github version might be more recent than the one on Microsoft Store.



Audio Router



Free and open-source product that describes itself as
"a similar app that does exactly what CheVolume does, except this is free at least for now".
The product is only at version 0.10.2, meaning beta version, and hasn't been
updated since 2016.
