Problem

Is it possible to route different applications to different audio outputs with Pulse Audio? I'd like my music to be played on my Stereo, but I'd like sound alerts to be played on my notebook speakers. Is that possible with Pulseaudio?

Fix for: Is it possible to route different applications to different audio outputs with Pulse Audio?

Low Risk

Yes, that's a built-in feature of PulseAudio. Various PA-compatible "volume mixers" such as or will let you assign a different output for each program (assuming PA actually recognizes those outputs as separate).
