AudioPick

Pick a preferred audio output device for HTML5 audio and video elements

AudioPick: HTML5 Audio Output Device Selector

'AudioPick' is a Chrome browser extension that enhances your media experience by allowing you to select a preferred audio output device specifically for HTML5 audio and video elements on web pages. It adjusts the 'sinkId' for HTML5 media elements to route sound through your chosen output device. With AudioPick, you can set different audio outputs for sites you visit, streamlining your listening experience without affecting the entire browser's settings. It supports secure HTTPS pages and works with media not directly in the document tree.

Pretty solid. Does mostly everything that I need it to do in terms of routing audio through certain channels in RODE Unify. The only other thing that could be better is when I close the RODE Unify software that the audio would default back to System instead of having to be tweaked back to Default.

Works fantastic. I've got a side monitor with a built-in speaker and I use it for YouTube and Twitch tabs all the time so I don't have to change the audio output of the entire Chrome program. Only downside is that it doesn't seem to work with the audio compression on the Twitch extension BTTV or FFZ (I can't remember which one), but I don't blame the devs for that.
