stuck on Routing pending with game Brawlhalla

[gh291]

Brawlhalla does not have a output selector, but if I use this to try to route audio(both your fork and the original) it gets stuck on routing pending, if I use the saved route it will prevent the game from starting, so my guess is if this software uses a hook to "steal" audio from the source there is some sort of issue preventing it from connecting to the game exe, probably an anti cheat of sorts.

Hi there.
Thank you for reporting this issue. Please add some more info about your use case.
Which version of windows are you using? Do you have any antivirus software running?
Have you tried running audio-router as administrator? Have you tried the soft routing option?
If your using win10, try to run audio-router with compatibility mode for windows 7.

If the problem is indeed with some sort of protection mechanism, contacting the game developer might be worth a try.
Another solution to this could be to set your default sink to the desired one and route other programs if nothing else works.

Kind regards,

Im using windows 10 pro x64, no antivirus because it screws with me streaming. Ive tried running as admin/compatibility and soft routing. It gets stuck on Routing Pending, and if the game is open already when I do it after 2 minutes of it trying to route it, game crashes. I've also tried doing the saved routing thing, that didn't work.

I did contact the developer, but I'm not sure how good they are at respond time.

Hello. I tried to replicate the issue. I have a similar setup with windows 10 pro x64. If i save the routing then the game crashes on start. If i route on main menu the sound is lost and the router gets stuck on pending.

But routing on the loading screen i was able to route successfully, and the sound was routed when the game reaches the main menu. This might work for you if you are fast enough.

i have win10 x64 as well and a specific game gets stuck with either routing/duplicating, tried to route while in loading screen and no luck for this game there.

Another workaround which worked for me:

1. Open the game
2. Mute it from options (Bring both volume sliders to empty via Options > System Settings)
3. Restart the game
4. Route the audio
5. Turn up volume back to normal

For reference, the game uses Adobe Air

@the-erin-collective please try running audio-router as administrator and in win7 compatibility mode, and also check out the suggestions here: audiorouterdev#17 (comment)
Could you please share the name of the exact game / program?

@Ameb Thank you for your input!
