Features & Capabilities

chaudev is a Firefox extension that lets you select a different audio output device for all HTML5 audio and video elements across your browser tabs, instead of using the default device. To use chaudev, enable the media.setsinkid.enabled option in your about:config settings by toggling it to true. Once enabled, you can choose your preferred audio output device via the extension icon or options page.

Note: Due to Firefox's current limitations, chaudev requests microphone access on every tab containing audio elements, but it does not use or record from your microphone. This behavior may be resolved in future browser updates.

User Reviews

I'm re-routing audio from FF115 to Virtual Audio Cable. Under Win7. Tried a bunch of similar extensions. None worked properly. Audio Output selector was one that somewhat functioned, but very inconvenient at best... That being said, chaudev extension works flawlessly.

Is chaudev Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

chaudev requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
