Overview of the Add-On Features

The NVDA Audio Manager add-on is designed to help you manage multiple audio devices and optimize audio routing effectively.

The functionalities of this add-on can be categorized into four main modules:

Playback Device Management: This module enables volume adjustment, setting of the system's default playback device, and toggling between mute and unmute states.
Recording Device Management: Similar to the playback device management, this allows for volume control, setting of the system's default recording device, and muting/unmuting.
Application-specific Audio Control: This feature facilitates the customization of playback and recording devices, volume modification, and muting/unmuting for individual audio applications.
Additional Functionalities: Alongside the features mentioned above, there are several practical functionalities such as microphone volume lock, NVDA output device switching, etc.
