Is it possible to have two sources of audio output to different speakers in Windows 10?
I have a Bluetooth speaker that I’d like to stream my Spotify music to while at the same time having my YouTube video from Chrome output sound to my monitor speaker. I’m using a DP cable. Is this possible to do in Windows 10?
I found two applications that allows you to do this.
CheVolume (Paid) - 7 day trial version available
Audio Router (Free) - open source alternative to CheVolume
Note: If not working you need to enable stereo mix in sound properties. Refer this video or this GIF.
Update after spring 2018
With windows 10 spring update 2018, Microsoft is offering a similar solution. You can check the below GIF or this youtube video.
Update December 2018
EarTrumpet - Quick, simple control of all your audio devices from the taskbar. Get it here.
Supported operating systems

Though Codelt already answered the question, it should be known that the terrific Pulse Audio has builds available for Windows:
- PulseAudio on Windows
- Setting up PulseAudio 1.0 beta for Windows
Pulse Audio has been providing this feature on Linux desktops for about four or five years, therefore it is stable and reliable. Additionally, it is very scriptable so the user can have it automatically route based on conditions after some configuration. So far as I know neither of the mentioned Windows-only software are scriptable.
You can now do this in later builds of Windows 10.
I don't know on which build it started.
Go to Settings --> Sound.
At the bottom, there's Other sound options -->
App volume and device preferences.
