How to synchronize Roon music with Philips Hue

There is kind a janky way to accomplish this that I use. I run the Hue Sync app on my desktop PC, and then group the default sound output of my PC with whatever device I am currently listening on. I also have a set of Nanoleaf lights that I have plugged into that sound output so those get animated as well.

By grouping in the PC the Hue app is able to listen in and animate to the lights, while also leaving the signal chain for the device I am actually listening to uninterrupted.
