How to add desktop shortcut to App volume device preferences?

You can change the tab number on that script. In my case I've changed from 6 to 7 and worked.

 

Sound: App Volume and Device Preferences Question

Hey folks -

My "search-fu" is a bit weak on this one and I haven't been able to find out whether someone else has seen and/or fixed this problem. First thing: I have multiple sound playback devices via a single USB connection into a mixer. It's 16 stereo playback devices and 16 stereo recording/line-in devices. All good. Those work fine.


In the "Sound Settings --> App volume and device preferences" window, I have various applications set to use different playback devices via the aforementioned USB connection. When I make the change in the Settings window, all is good. The application (eg: Chrome) instantly starts using the configured device. If I quit the app and restart it sometime later, it begins playing its sound over the Default sound device. Even though the Settings window still shows it attached to a different playback device. I have to change it, and change it again, and it begins playing over the correct device.

It's like Windows is forgetting that I've got the app assigned to device XYZ vs the default.

Is there some interesting work-around/fix for this?

OS is Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, 1809.

Thanks!

That doesn't allow you to change the audio output device for each app does it? (I have 3 audio devices)
