Hi @ysc3839,
first of all, thank you so much for building and open-sourcing the original AudioPlaybackConnector. It has been an incredibly useful tool for the Windows community, and it was the main inspiration for a rewrite I have been working on.
I wanted to gently share a project I recently published that builds on your idea: AudioPlaybackConnector2.
It is not meant to replace or compete with your work in any way — the original project is fantastic and still widely used. My version is simply a modern rewrite that experiments with a few additional quality-of-life features I personally missed, such as:
Auto-reconnect on startup (with per-device granularity)
An animated system tray icon during connection
Theme-aware tray icons for light/dark Windows taskbars
A built-in device picker on left-click
Multi-language support (8 locales)
It is built with WinUI 3 Desktop, C++/WinRT, and packaged as an MSIX. I have made sure to clearly credit you and link back to this repository in the README.
If you feel this is inappropriate to post here, please let me know and I will happily remove this issue — no hard feelings at all. I just thought some users who follow this project might find it helpful.
Thank you again for your original work and for maintaining it for the community.
Best regards
