Audio Output Selector

Allows you to change the audio output device of <audio> and <video> elements. Requires media.setsinkid.enabled set to true in about:config!

Audio Output Selector

Easily switch audio output devices for <audio> and <video> elements with the Audio Output Selector extension. If you enjoy using multiple audio devices, such as switching between your TV and headset, this add-on simplifies that process, allowing you to have different audio sources playing simultaneously on different devices. For example, you can have Twitch audio coming through your speakers while YouTube audio plays through your headset!

Important: Please ensure to enable the experimental feature "The Audio Output Devices API" by setting media.setsinkid.enabled to true in your Firefox about:config. While currently the extension only updates existing elements on the page, there are plans to improve this functionality in the future. Check out the GitHub page for more details or send a tip to support further development!

Works some of the time. I mainly use it for youtube. When youtube refreshes the streaming video (after a few hours) it randomly resets so you have to set it again to your output you want. If you change your personal output it resets eventually and you will have to set it again to the output you want.
