Is it easy to assign apps to audio outputs on Linux Mint? Currently on Windows 11 I can assign an app to an audio output and it saves it permanently until I change it in Windows audio settings. I do this to have discord over my Bluetooth earbuds and media audio via my TV.

Is it that simple in Linux Mint? Does it save the settings persistently through boot?

    To the best of my knowledge, this isn’t something you can do at the system level. Individual apps can specify where they output, but not the system. You can control the volume of individual, active applications (i don’t know if it’s persistent). I imagine it would be possible to add that capability, but it would be via a new app or extension.

      No, it definitely works. It worked even on pulseaudio I believe, since it’s exposed in pavucontrol.

      And you can go even further and control the full routing graph with qpwgraph or Jack based tools.
