"Moving" applications between speakers on Windows 10?

1

I have a number of speakers on my Windows 10 laptop: the laptop speakers, the monitor speakers and a Bluetooth sound bar. How could I set which application sound is output where? Even just a default would be useful -- for example, the BT speakers are picked up from the next room, it'd be nice if I could just make everything use the laptop speakers for a while.

You can select as default any output device. All apps should use unless told otherwise, if that option is available (e.g. VLC). Some apps but not all allow selecting a different output device overriding the OS settings. – None – 2018-01-29T18:18:15.890

System settings or right-click in the "speaker" icon/indicator. – None – 2018-01-29T21:07:30.150

Ah right click and then "playback devices". Gotcha. Windows 10 has Control Panel and PC Settings confusing me greatly. – chx – 2018-01-29T21:30:59.473

I found EarTrumpet is a great solution to all these problems. Once set to an output device it will play on that if it becomes available.
