Hi Rod,
Below are a few lines of VBScript which I found in an example, showing how
to use WMI to get a list of all soundcards on a pc (and one of the
properties it shows is the "id", which maybe is the same property which you
are passing on the commandline to your .exe).
Hth,
Chip
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_SoundDevice")
For Each objItem in colItems
speak "Description: " & objItem.Description
speak "Device ID: " & objItem.DeviceID
speak "DMA Buffer Size: " & objItem.DMABufferSize
speak "Manufacturer: " & objItem.Manufacturer
speak "MPU 401 Address: " & objItem.MPU401Address
speak "Name: " & objItem.Name
speak "PNP Device ID: " & objItem.PNPDeviceID
speak "Product Name: " & objItem.ProductName
speak "Status Information: " & objItem.StatusInfo
Next

Subject: Changeing the default playback device in Windows 7
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.
