AudioDeviceCmdlets VS AudioSwitch

I worked with an issue close to this awhile ago when I needed to set a default audio device within a DSC (don't ask, it was dumb). Is the Get-AudioDevice cmdlet from the https://github.com/frgnca/AudioDeviceCmdlets repo? That was the one I ended up using, I found a bug in it with the way it was enumerating devices and had to dig into the C# underneath.

It uses a set of a cool set of PowerShell cmdlets named AudioDeviceCmdlets to query for the audio devices. Docs and installation instructions can be found in its GitHub repo. There are multiple ways of getting the list of audio devices on Windows, AudioDeviceCmdlets made it very easy to do.

Since my last update i have followed the links and advice that u/MasterChiefmas, u/PajamaDuelist, u/spyingwind, and u/ps1_missionary replied with. While none of their information directly helped, it helped me find the rabbit trails to get to this point. as of right now this script will control the remote audio devices but it will not allow you to play audio out of the remote pc speakers. if you run the contents of the invoke command in start-tone in a admin powershell window on your account it will work so i know the code is sound (pun intended). while doing researching this issue i came across AudioDeviceCmdlets from https://github.com/frgnca/AudioDeviceCmdlets and this helped solve many of the issues i had with controlling and unmuting audio remotely. However i still have issues getting audio to play remotely.

For Windows, aside from the other mention of NirCmd, there's also the AudioDeviceCmdlets PowerShell module (source here).

I just want to clarify that only one of the source files contains code that I wrote. https://github.com/frgnca/AudioDeviceCmdlets/blob/8a02ed8924d44e57338488e38927f35522d7853b/SOURCE/AudioDeviceCmdlets.cs

NIRcmd is great example, but I would add also AudioDeviceCmdlets https://github.com/frgnca/AudioDeviceCmdlets And if you want a physical switch, we should soon release the one which we developed last year https://youtu.be/2HNjlMSk42c

Managing multiple EQ profiles for different audio devices can be fuddly with EqualizerAPO, this PowerShell tool allows you to easily switch playback devices and audio device profiles among any number of devices using the AudioDeviceCmdlets module.

Using this app I can switch between audio input devices with a macro. My plan is to set a button on the headset to activate the macro so I can walk away from my desk and switch to by headsets microphone as needed.

I just use AudioSwitch instead. It's a little icon that sits in the tray which you can color code for whichever input/output is active, then right-click to quick switch it.

I installed a program called AudioSwitch to map a hotkey that toggles sound devices, so that I could try to switch sound devices in-game, but even after pressing the hotkey in-game, audio always only came out of the headphones.

I don't think there's a built in way to do it, but with AudioSwitch, you can easily set a keybind to change between two audio devices quickly.

I've never heard of AudioSwitch before but did find what MIGHT be the website, and another one in GitHub. Both are a bit old (2018 and 2017 respectively) and are not the same codebase, but they could have a common parent. Nothing specifying that though and on mentions of forks either. But maybe one of them is what you're talking about? I'm also not seeing the headphone stand at all. Could you provide some links for said products and that'd maybe help some?

Step 1) I installed AudioSwitch Download Link.
