How to play sound on specific audio device?

[gkavrecic]

I need to play sounds on different audio devices on the machine.
Currently, I use QSound, but it only works on current default audio device.

I'm able to find info about available audio devices: QAudioDeviceInfo::availableDevices()
Is it somehow possible to have two C++ objects (QSound like) and use them for different audio outputs?

Not through the QSound mechanism. QSound is very primitive, only sinking to the default sound device.

@Kent-Dorfman
I'm aware of QSound limits.
Looking for an alternative.

What about QMediaPlayer?
It has the QMediaService, but this class is strongly advised to avoid in new code.

I hardly believe that Qt has no approach to play a sound on a specific device.

If it helps to anyone, use QSoundEffect.
Not sure in which version started to support this, but for sure does not support devices in 5.10, but does in 5.15
