This is just a short notice for all of you having issues with audio-router or looking for exactly that feature and don't know that Windows system feature. It works perfectly its just not that handy without any fast tray option...

Go to: Preference Panel -> System -> Sound -> Advanced (or Extended) sound options -> Appvolume and Device options

This is how it looks like (with German language sorry): Soundoptions

But can it duplicate audio, though?

What does the duplicate audio do? does it allow having say two sources routed and then toggle them or somtehing?

I tried to tes tthis but when I duplicate it throws an error.

It won't duplicate tho... I really like audio router, but it seems like windows method would save a extra "space" in the taskbar. However, with audio router you just close it and it goes back to normal config, I think it still is very handy to have the app!

It lets you stream to two different speakers at the same time! I find it has some kind of a bug, when you duplicate it generally just routs it, you'll probably need to duplicate again to work properly.

There are apps that seem to ignore the setting in Windows 10. Audio Router forces those apps. So I use it for those stubborn apps. Also if you change the output in Audio Router, you don't have to restart the app. Setting it in Windows, you sometime have to restart.

I this hoping that it would fix some apps ignoring WIndows 10 settings but it doesn't. It simply causes them to crash.
