Should do for a long time 🍋

Microsoft went on to improve the Shared Audio feature on Windows 11 to be more convenient and flexible for people who want to share audio to two sets of headphones simultaneously on one machine, whether watching movies, listening to music, or using it with friends in their personal space without disturbing their peers.

.

The key turning point of this cycle was the addition of a split volume leveler per device. Each user could set their own headphone loudness independently. It did not require the same volume as in the early days when testing the feature, making practical use much more convenient, because the loudness that suited each person was often not the same. At the same time, the system still had a master sound controller that could be adjusted simultaneously to both devices as before.

.

Microsoft also added an icon on the system tray to let you know immediately when Shared Audio is enabled, reducing confusion with multiple device times. It can also be quickly pressed into settings without opening a multi-step menu.

.

On the compatibility side, support for added devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4, Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, Sony WF-1000XM6, and Xbox Wireless Earrings has been expanded.

.

However, the feature is also in Windows Insider and is limited to Bluetooth LE Audio-compatible machines, especially the Copilot + PC group, and in addition to Shared Audio, Microsoft added MIDI 2.0 support on Windows 11, reflecting that the company is taking the system's audio experience more seriously.
