I made a program that can switch between speaker modes using the command line so you can use it in scripts.



Here it is: speakersetup

Thanks for sharing that Vrokolos... I've been looking for a way to do exactly that.

Originally I was hoping to do it via an AutoHotkey script but the speaker setting doesn't appear to be accessible via the built-in sound support. Or at least didn't - I haven't looked for a while. Do you mind sharing what dll and function call you're using to change the setting?

Thanks again!

I use managed directsound. I don't think autohotkey can access it directly. Might be wrong though!

Would you be willing to share the source code?

[Vrokolos]

Not yet. But i'm willing to create a dll for you to use.

[n-l-i-d]

k.

Would be nice to have a DLL too, but not absolutely necessary, the CLI version is fine as is... But sure, maybe others would like to have a DLL version.

I'm simply curious if this could be done with AHK-only...

[Vrokolos]

let me give it a try with autohotkey only then

[Vrokolos]

Can you create a complex object in AHK? This can't be done with just basic types like strings and ints. You need to create objects for devices and speakers and pass those objects to directsound.

I have no clue...

If the "complex object" you are talking about is a COM object, you might be able to use the COM lib for it.

I'm pretty sure autohotkey can't make calls to managed dll assemblies using complex types as parameters. What you might want to do is research on how to do what I did using plain old directsound dlls and not the managed ones, for which I really have not clue where to start

Oops sorry didn't see that before. Well then it should be possible.. Let me try to create a script for it in the next few days. I'll report back

Well, I'm not the right person to ask these questions. All I can say is that AHK does support creating structures (if that equals the complex types you are referencing to).

Ah!

Why bothered to access the managed codes? You can access (unmanaged) DirectSound directly from AutoHotkey.
