User sets their audio output to be device X.User sets their audio output to be device X, and all audio goes to device X.You may need to trigger the machine translation generation again to ensure the strings are also translated in other languages.įor the WindowsMediaPlayer class, it's used for both sounds and for sound effects (like a bell sound when you finish a task).įrom a user perspective, which experience do you think is better? The strings for Simplified Chinese have been manually translated in this PR. While keeping using the default device, open the system sound settings, change the default output device of the system and check if Ambie immediately uses the new default device to play the sounds.All the currently playing sounds should be redirected to use the new endpoint for playback in real time. Launch Ambie and choose a different device as the output device like your monitor, a soundbar, a headset or a virtual device from a mixer software.Users can easily adjust the balance between those channels or apply different EQ profiles. SteelSeries's SONAR software adds three virtual audio devices for gaming, media, and chat. There're also many widely used audio mixer applications like VoiceMeeter, SteelSeries SONAR etc.

For example, using a sound bar to play Ambie sounds to make people feel cozy in the room while listening to a podcast with a headset. Users may expect to specifically use a physical or virtual device for Ambie to play sounds.
