On a related note, is there a way to change the sound output device?

is there a way to change the sound output device?

@stuntguy3000 not sure if that's a logic thing that this library should do :)

[JohnnyCrazy]

@stuntguy3000 Nope, sadly this isn't easy. I'm using Equalify Pro for my private usage, but I don't think there is something free currently.

[stuntguy3000]

Damn that sucks. I really wonder how Equalifty Pro works.

[JohnnyCrazy]

@stuntguy3000 It propably does some function hooking. I could imagine it is hooking some kind of WINAPI Function like GetAudioDevice. Also, it does some kind of memory pattern-search since it's working across versions which means memory-addresses are not hard-coded.

[stuntguy3000]

I will research into it properly, cheers.

@stuntguy3000 @JohnnyCrazy There are UNDOCUMENTED COM interfaces for this, as answered here:

I do not know whether or not this works on any platform, but from my work for the volume change api I would suppose that it is indeed platform-neutral. Nevertheless, if you want to implement it it would be up to you as I sadly can not put my time into this at the moment.
