Error code 0x0...05: Access denied. Router functionality not available...

Windows 10 64bits, latest version, ran as administrator.. Tried to route everyhing, nothing works... some say "pending" in parentesis some gives me the error: Error code 0x0...05: Access denied. Router functionality not available...

Any workaround? Is this project dead?

I'm getting this as well on Windows 10 64-Bit: Interestingly, the program is able to route it's own output but not any other program.

I made an exemption in Windows Defender just in case that was interfering, but no change.

Verified this is a permissions issue on Windows 10. Running the program as with System privileges allows it to work as intended.

Steps for test/workaround: Prerequisites:

• Get PSEXEC (set of windows command line admin tools from MS/Sysinternals). Download and extract the zip.

Test:

1. Launch and Administrative Powershell
2. In powershell run <path to psexec.exe> -i -d -s <path to audio router.exe>. On my system this looks like: After this Audio router.exe is running interactively on the current account with System privileges:

Doesn't work for me.... Does the routed app need administrator privileges too ?

The only time I seem to get this error is when trying to re-route Firefox (v56.0).

I have same trouble.

I found solution. Run "Audio Router.exe" With compatibility Windows 8 and Administrator right.

Have a fun

So im on windows 7, and had a similar issue as stated here. however, I noticed that Firefox was listed 3 times even though it was only running once. Then i remembered that Firefox now opens several instances of itself in order to complete more tasks at once.

However, i did also run as admin (even though i keep UAC off in windows) and put compatibility mode on windows 7 (even though im running windows 7) lol, Just trying to give u my data :)

Having the same problem, I'm on Windows 10. Running as admin or compatibility mode with Windows 7 or 8 don't change anything. Used this years ago on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and it worked without much trouble. Now I get this and this: https://github.com/audiorouterdev/audio-router/issues/121
