About Audio Router Switch

Tired of all browser audio playing through one device? Audio Router Switch lets you send each tab's audio to a different output — no virtual cables, no extra software. Key Features Route per tab — Send YouTube to speakers, Discord to headphones, and a game to your headset. Each tab picks its own device. One-click switching — Select a device from the dropdown and click Route Audio. The extension captures tab audio and plays it through your chosen output instantly. Remembers your choice — Your device selection is saved per tab. Reopen the popup and your last pick is still there. Optional real names — Chrome hides device names by default. Grant a one-time permission to show labels like "MacBook Pro Speakers" instead of generic IDs. Lightweight and private — No background processes, no data collection, no accounts. Audio stays on your device. How to Use Click the extension icon on any tab playing audio Select an output device from the dropdown Click Route Audio — the tab now plays through your chosen device Privacy & Notes Audio Router Switch runs entirely in your browser. Audio data is captured locally and routed to the selected device — it never leaves your machine. No servers, no tracking, no accounts. Perfect for: Gamers who want game audio on headset and music on speakers DJs and streamers who need separate monitoring and main output Remote workers routing meeting audio to headphones while media plays elsewhere Anyone replacing AudioPick after its Manifest V3 deprecation
