Windows 11 Feature Requests
I use my TV as a 2nd monitor, extended display, and watch streaming or downloaded video on it. I'd like it if, when a window is opened on, or dragged or swapped to my TV (monitor 2), the audio will also automatically be swapped to my TV. Then, if I drag or swap the window (media player, browser, game, etc) back to monitor 1 (computer monitor), the audio will automatically be swapped back to the default output (PC speaker). As is, I have to go into the Volume Mixer and do this manually. One issue I run into is, if the video I'm watching on the TV is in a browser and I have that browser's audio output set to "TV", and then I have another window of the same browser open on my PC monitor, and I click on a video, I can't render that two separate windows of the same browser two separate places, they'll both play from the TV or the PC speaker. (For the record, I'm not casting the A/V to the TV, this connection is through HDMI.)
It's a paid 3rd party app, but check out Actual Multiple Monitors. It does exactly what you're wanting (and a lot more). You can try the full version absolutely free for either 14 or 30 days, can't remember. I use it on all of my PCs with multiple monitors. Not affiliated.
