Command-line adjust audio properties

[Den]

Group:

I have two different sound playback devices that I regularly swap between.

To effect the swap I select the device I want from the dropdown at Control
Panel / Sounds & Audio Devices / Audio / Sound Playback Default Device.

This is a PITA.

Is there a command line equivalent that I can use?

Cheers

Den

You could make the change, save a REG file from regedit of the setting, change back, and make another reg file, to run them silently
as needed
--go.bat--
start regedit /s c:\my.reg
--cut--

Where the sound setting is, I don't know, but making a sound change while running a utility like RegMon would show you that. (

Hi Den,

Create two REG files as Mark said.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\Sound Mapper

In the right-pane, the Playback value specifies the sound card.
