AudioEndpoint

[Sem;colon]

I'm sorry, you are totally right... I think you found a bug here, thank you

In the attached version it should work.

[blackwind]

Working now, but with one more caveat: One of my devices is disabled, and the plugin just dumps an error when I try to switch to it. Could you add a way to test whether or not a device is available? Or, alternately, maybe just add a "Switch to next audio device" and a "Switch to previous audio device" action with the appropriate checks so users don't have to roll their own solutions?

New version!

v1.4:
-Added guid
-Added action "Get Default Audio Render"
-Added action "Next Default Audio Render"
-Added action "Previous Default Audio Render"

but with one more caveat: One of my devices is disabled, and the plugin just dumps an error when I try to switch to it. Could you add a way to test whether or not a device is available?

It does check it actually - you are not getting a stack trace, do you?

[blackwind]

It was a friendly "print"ed error message from the plugin without a stack trace. In any case, totally irrelevant now with the new actions. Everything is working great. Cheers!

[Sem;colon]

OK, that's what I thought, in this case the function call for SetRender returns False. It returns True if no error appears.

Thank you!

[krad23]

Awesome. Can you also add an action for "Next Default Communications Device" ? Maybe same for microphones as well?

[Sem;colon]

No, I'm afraid not... I don't know how to do that.

This seems like an excellent plugin! I'm having trouble getting it to work with unicode characters, though. If I drag an event containing an "ö" (like the Swedish word for "speaker" unfortunately does), I get the error messages below. It works perfectly for the one audio device I have that only contains ascii characters. I don't think it's related to my system (but I could be wrong), because I've tried dragging events containing "ö" from another plugin with no problems.

Is there anything that can be done to fix this on my part?

Hmm, how does the event in the log look like, do you actually see the ö?

[Bostrolicious]

Yes, I see it. An example of the events when I switch devices:

AudioEndpoint.Default.Render.Multimedia.Högtalare (2- High Definition Audio Device) ['{0.0.0.00000000}.{fe368bf2-e1c9-4e50-98bc-12bdbbbc7299}']
AudioEndpoint.Default.Render.Console.Högtalare (2- High Definition Audio Device) ['{0.0.0.00000000}.{fe368bf2-e1c9-4e50-98bc-12bdbbbc7299}']

[Sem;colon]

hmm, try this one

[Bostrolicious]

Problem solved. I tested both the events and the "set" action, and everything seems to work fine. Thanks a lot!

Hi there, it's a great addon since i was fiddling around with an external tool wich caused me trouble

btw. is there a way to play a sound into a specific soundcard output?

in my case a used a very dirty hack to record+replay 433Mhz remote signals just by soldering a transciever pair to a cheap usb soundcard.

Hi Yasuno,

that's an interesting use for a sound card
Wouldn't this work with IR signals as well?

At the moment I'm not aware of any possibility to play a specific audio file on a specific output device with EventGhost without a 3rd party tool.
Unfortunately it's not easy to program this (it is possible though), Pako did something similar as he created the intelliSpeech plugin.

What you can do: On most media player you can set a specific output, you can then use EventGhost to open audio files with that media player

You should make a post for that idea (using a soundcard as Transceiver) in the Feature Request Forum.
Me or someone else may pick it up some day and create a plugin for that.

Hi Sem;colon !
Today I looked in the task manager.
There I saw this:

It is possible that it happened after several forced reboot EventGhost.
It would be possible to prevent multiple starting that program?
