Choose which speakers to use in iTunes on PC
Besides listening to your computer’s built-in speakers, you can listen to iTunes audio through any of the following:
Speakers connected to your computer and a power source
Remote speakers connected to an AirPort Express
An AirPlay-enabled device, including HomePod or network speakers (for example, Apple TV played through TV speakers)

You can select more than one tick box to play music through multiple sources.
Set a maximum volume for speakers
