API: SetAudioDeviceInfo

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

I would love to have the chance to not only get, but also set the audio-device settings, even if only the things would be settable, who are gettable via GetAudioDeviceInfo()

Our usecase would be in Ultraschall:
We have dozens of users with dozens of audio-devices, who produced a number of potential problems.
We would like to build us some kind of Settings-Troubleshooting-Wizard, which allows us to do stuff like:
1) we set a certain setting with one of the common settings(buffer sizes for instance or audiosystem)
2) we ask the user "Can you hear yourself properly? Yes/No?"
3) if the user said no, we try another common setting
4) we ask again the user "Can you hear yourself? Yes/No?"
etc.

This allows us to give inexperienced users a chance to go through the most common settings that worked for the most.
But to do this, we would need to be able to set these settings somehow.

+1 Great FR. Being able to set the audio device within a script can also be handy when someone switches devices a lot!

Agreed

[Triode]

I'd also find this handy.
I have one desk/interface by the drums and another by the monitors so I'm constantly switching between the two.

Just a friendly +1 bump

I haven't posted on here since 2009 but yeah I'd definitely really like this function added, please. I'm a heathen who uses his PC for Reaper and for websurfing and ASIO definitely DOES NOT like to play audio from my web browser. A macro that could switch from ASIO to WaveOut would be super handy, and SetAudioDeviceInfo() would do the trick.

I was thinking of using this to process at 96k by using dummy audio (my fireface seems to have issues changing sample rate on the fly, as well as latency)

Would love to change audio configs with a script

yes please please please! this has been asked by a lot of other users and other threads.

Did you see this hack in the meantime?
You'll need to edit the code for your interfaces but it's a possible workaround:

And here's the full thread:

Bonus points for adding the checkmarks to show which one is activated

i'll try it later! i don't see anything related with buffer size in the script tho, which for me is the thing ... Thanks

[Triode]

It's in the full thread.. and on reapack. Search for "block"

[mlprod]

Changing audio device with scripting is something really useful I think. So, yes please!

[dyross]

I routinely switch between several specific audio devices on mac "External Headphones" and "Audient id14".

It would be great to have an action for each so I can use keybindings rather than a bunch of clicks.

Though it can be done in JS API reascript. But it will be nice if REAPER has API.

Thanks for the tip! Any pointer to examples of doing this? I use the JS API, but can't find it in the docs. Thanks!

Here's the link again to the script that worked for my interfaces. Try tweaking that

Amazing, thanks!

Another +1, this would be nice
