How to select a differnent audio ouput per application in archlinux

Question

I want chrome to use a separate dac from everything else.

I know you can do that in windows using the advanced settings. What about arch?

I am using the Gnome DE and arch OS.

Answer 1

Install pulseaudio and pavucontrol then enable and start pulseaudio with

systemctl enable pulseaudio
systemctl start pulseaudio

Then open pavucontrol, you have to have the applications you want to manage open, you can then chose the output device for each application.
