Hi everyone,

I found this page through google where you can download a zip archive
containing an executable as well as resources for Python and a Visual
Studio C# project for an app which changes the default sound device in
Windows 7.The executable works on my Windows 7 x64 system perfectly, and
I figured it would work fine in 32-bit Windows 7.I was hoping to
integrate the executable into a WE app, but I can do no more than
specify a specific sound device ID on the executable command line, like
this:

Endpointcontroller.exe 0

Which would make the first sound device on the system the
default.Indeed, specifying no ID on the command line displays a list of
all the playback devices, but I tried every DOS trick I know to try to
store this list to a text file in order to be able to work with it, to
no avail.Of course, I could make an app which just cycles through, say,
5 IDs, just to try to cover as many situations as possible, but this is
kind of a cheezy approach.Anyway, if you have time an interest, check it
out and see what you think.

Here's the URL:

Cheeres,

device ID on the executable command line, like this:<o:p></o:p>
