How do I change my audio output device without making it the default one?

I want to combine two streams using a program called Virtual Audio Cable, and listen to the combined stream, while not making it the DEFAULT sound output device.

Is there a way to listen to an output WITHOUT making it the default one?

Solution 1:

I recently found a small application that works perfectly and it's way better than the AutoHotKey which you have to compile on your own: SoundSwitch

Solution 2:

Well, a little technical info could help, but...

If you go to control panel-> sounds->hardware, click on the device you want to access, and select properties, and disable it (it will disable it, but all references to it as"default" should remain)

Hope that helped
