## Description

Audio Router is a virtual audio routing tool used to redirect audio streams from specific software applications to chosen playback devices and hardware outputs. It functions as an application audio manager that allows for the assignment and saving of audio device preferences for individual running processes.

The software includes capabilities for duplicating audio streams, enabling a single audio signal to be sent to multiple output devices simultaneously for synchronized playback. It also provides real-time audio monitoring through peak meters to visualize signal strength and audio levels across active programs.

The system supports audio hardware configuration by storing device assignments for specific applications, ensuring these preferences are applied automatically when a program starts.
