Allow Me to Select Output Mode
« on: May 14, 2017, 11:25:58 AM »
Is there a way to select a specific output mode rather than having it change the default sound. I have separate channels setup to direct my sound thru my headset or speakers. It's a pain that it changes the default sound. Every other program that I have allows me to changed it without affecting my default sound.

EDIT by Pfeil: Individual sound playing actions can be set to output to a given device, and the "Override Default Playback Device" option can be used for all sound playing actions that are set to use the default device.

Although there is no way for that to occur currently, I have it slated to add additional audio options down the road.  No ETA on that, though.

FROM ANOTHER THREAD

Greetings sir am relatively new to programming but i came up with a solution none of them are stable but they sure bring in some very nice features to solve this challenge of yours! , i was just about to post about this feature to be implemented along with being able to ask voice attack to change the voice of all tts one of the things i have also accomplished too but rather crudely.

    there is a program called "chevolume"  [not free] it lets your force an application to output audio to preferred audio devices or virtual cables! This is the simplest solution to the challenge of yours :).

    There is software called "Balabolka" a text to speech software more extensive than voice attack it terms of controls , and with [CRT+SHIFT+F9] it reads  the text in your clip board or reads highlighted text :).

    Now for the icing on the cake! balabolka also has 4 shortcuts you can use to switch between the different  text to speech voices!.

    thanks to the gentleman that is "Gary" he helped me out a while back coz voice attack/balabolka  would sometimes crash when interfacing with each other making it very reliable!

Now for the catch! as i am reletively new to programming! , i didnt put a process in place to detect if i had sent balabolka to read out loud or status of the reading there for , if you sent consequtive commands of TTS it ends up jamming balabolka! meaning you have to open it up then press stop and in my case i put a keyboard short to stop it because it just jams in the TTS process! :)

    i made an extensive overview of my voice attack setup , watching it you will better understand the benefits of this system untill its implemented :)

Maybe Autohotkey or NirCMD have this functionality available? Then you could just call those from VA.
