Read default audio device?

[arkemiffo]

Hi all

Is it possible to read the default audio device in VA?

I want to easily switch between my normal headset and the Oculus Rift with both playback and recording. However, I would like to have it as one command, i.e. "Change audio device" or similar, and have VA check which one it is and change to the other.

Kind regards

Sure, there are tokens to do so:

{STATE_DEFAULTPLAYBACK} - This returns the device name of the default audio playback device as indicated by Windows.  Note that there is a very minor memory leak when accessing the multimedia device property store, so this will be reflected in VoiceAttack (using this token sparingly will not present a problem...  running it over and over in a loop will chew up memory... the search for a better way continues).

{STATE_DEFAULTRECORDING} -This works just like {STATE_DEFAULTPLAYBACK},except the default recording device name will be returned.

You'd use a condition to determine which device to switch to:

Code: [Select]

Begin Text Compare : [{STATE_DEFAULTPLAYBACK}] Equals 'Headset'
    Change playback device to: 'Oculus Rift'
Else
    Change playback device to: 'Headset'
End Condition
