# Per-App Audio Controller
A clean, modern Windows application that allows you to control volume and mute settings for individual applications. The app runs in the system tray for easy access.
## Features
✅ **Individual Volume Control** - Adjust volume for each application separately
✅ **Mute Control** - Mute/unmute specific applications
✅ **System Tray Integration** - Runs quietly in the background
✅ **Auto-refresh** - Automatically detects new audio sessions
✅ **Modern Dark UI** - Clean, professional interface
## Screenshots
### Main Window
The main interface showing:
- Application name and process details
- Individual mute checkboxes for each app
- Volume sliders with percentage display
- Clean dark theme interface
### System Tray
System tray integration:
- Minimizes to tray instead of closing
- Right-click context menu
- Double-click to restore window
## Requirements
- Windows 10 or later
- .NET 8.0 Runtime
- Administrator privileges (for audio control)
## How to Use
1. **Launch the application** - It will appear in your system tray
2. **Double-click the tray icon** to open the main window
3. **Adjust volume sliders** for individual applications
4. **Click mute checkboxes** to mute specific apps
5. **Close to tray** - The X button minimizes to tray, not exit
6. **Right-click tray icon** for menu options
## Building from Source
```bash
dotnet build
dotnet run
```
## Technical Details
- Built with **WPF** and **.NET 8**
- Uses **NAudio.Wasapi** for Windows Audio Session API integration
- **MVVM architecture** for clean code separation
- **Hardcodet.NotifyIcon.Wpf** for system tray functionality
## Why No Audio Routing?
Windows doesn't natively support moving active audio streams between devices. True per-app audio routing requires:
- Virtual audio cable drivers
- Kernel-level audio interception
- I already tried to make it route but seems to be limitation within windows itself or skill issue :P
This app focuses on what Windows actually supports: volume and mute control for individual applications.
