How do you programmatically change the output device of another application running under windows 7 or 10 64bit?
I know it is possible to some extend because of software such as http://www.chevolume.com/
My goal is to set video games to my headphones and netflix to the tv control and music to the sound system, etc.

im working on a windows app that needs to "hear" the desktop's audio, so the user runs it in the background and plays a game for example, the application would receive the sounds of that game, kind of like a screen recorder, but for audio only
I need to use 2 microphones on a laptop (the integrated one and one that can be plugged with the classic jack), so that I can distinguish who is talking based on the microphone where he's talking. So I cannot use audio mixers, but I need to keep separated the two inputs.
It's possible to do that? How?
If you have Lync, Jabber, Skype or any other conferencing system in which you want to use more than one microphone, this tutorial is for you.

1.Download Virtual Audio Cable from this page (most likely you want the 64 bit version)
2.Install Virtual Audio Cable – do NOT touch the software after the install
3.Go to your Windows RECORDING DEVICES – do NOT touch your PLAYBACK DEVICES
4.Double click on each Microphone you want to use, click the SOUNDS TAB, click LISTEN TO THIS DEVICE and set the drop down to LINE 1 VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE
5.In RECORDING DEVICES, right click on LINE 1 VIRTUAL AUDIO CABLE and set it to DEFAULT
I am building a modern application on Windows 8.1. This application will display a list of videos. A user can select a video to start playing it. This application will run in Kiosk mode using Assigned Access feature of Windows 8.1

Now that I have the app running in kiosk mode, I want to stream it automatically to a Smart TV. I have looked at the Play To contract in Windows 8.1 but all of these require user initiated action by tapping on Devices in Charms bar. How can I stream the video to the TV - is there a way to achieve this through code?
does Anybody know if it is possible to capture the media you are playing on windows phone, so you can stream it to another source,
Just like apple does with airplay
No, it is not possible to write a 3rd party app that can capture audio or video from other apps and stream it somewhere else.
Airplay on iOS is a system level service that apps can use.
The closest thing Windows Phone has is Play To, which allows you to pick existing media on the phone (pictures, music, video, etc) and share it to a compatible device. Currently, this technology isn't available to developers.
I currently have speakers set up both in my office and in my living room, connected to my PC via two sound cards, and would like to switch the set of speakers I'm outputting to on the fly.
Anyone know an application or a windows API call that I can use to change the default sound output device? It is currently a bit of a pain to traverse the existing control panel system.
That topic is covered in depth here Easily Change or Switch the Default Audio Sound Output in Vista or XP. Note that sound management was changed in Vista significantly.
On a side note, I believe SnapStream is/was working on an application to allo multi-channel sound cards to output to different rooms (sets of speakers) simultaneously.
