AuRo - Powerful Audio Output Device Router Extension for Chrome

AuRo - audio output device router is a unique Chrome extension designed to enhance users' control over their audio and video experience on the web. It works by modifying the play() method in HTML5 audio and video elements, allowing users to choose their desired audio output device for each tab domain. Please note this extension doesn't support AudioContext as setSinkId() is not yet implemented in it. However, to maintain optimal performance, users may sometimes be required to pause/play media during initialization.
