What SoundRoot can do.

01 — Audio Rooms

Named presets that remember everything.

Each room stores its own complete routing configuration — which apps go to which outputs, at what volume, in what order. Switching a room is atomic: all routes change at once, instantly.

• ✓ Custom name, colour, and icon per room
• ✓ Unlimited rooms
• ✓ Drag to reorder rooms in place
• ✓ Persists across KDE sessions and reboots

02 — Visual Wire Routing

See your audio graph at a glance.

A canvas of source nodes (apps) on the left and sink nodes (devices) on the right, connected by colour-coded bezier wires. Each output device gets a unique colour so you instantly know where every app is routed.

• ✓ Sink-keyed wire colours (all wires to the same output share a colour)
• ✓ Drag from source to sink to create a route
• ✓ Live stream names from PipeWire
• ✓ Per-stream ordinal routing with unique route IDs

03 — Many-to-Many Routing

No artificial limits.

Route one app to multiple outputs, multiple apps to one output, or build any N:M graph you need. PipeWire handles the mixing; SoundRoot handles the configuration.

• ✓ One source → many sinks simultaneously
• ✓ Many sources → one sink (mixed by PipeWire)
• ✓ Per-route volume sliders
• ✓ Delete individual routes without clearing the room

04 — Global Shortcuts

Switch rooms without lifting a hand.

Three configurable shortcuts live in KDE's native Keyboard Shortcuts panel: open the widget, next room, and previous room. They work globally — in games, full-screen apps, wherever.
