SoundShift is a desktop application that allows users to easily switch their default audio output devices and control their volume on Windows systems. It features a simple user interface built with the Fyne toolkit for Go, making audio device management accessible directly from the system tray.
- Device Switching: Quickly switch between audio output devices.
- Volume Control: Adjust the volume of your selected audio device with a convenient slider.
- Configuration Settings: Customize device visibility and application behavior through a configuration window.
- System Tray Integration: Access SoundShift from the system tray for convenience.
SoundShift utilizes several packages to handle various functionalities:
- Fyne: For the graphical user interface.
- go-ole/go-ole: To interact with COM objects for managing audio devices.
- go-vgo/robotgo, lxn/win: For additional Windows API calls.
- moutend/go-hook, moutend/go-wca: For hooking into Windows Core Audio APIs.
- winapi: Custom Windows API wrapper used in the application.
Ensure you have Go installed on your system. You can download it from Go's official site.
