Change Windows Sound Output Device with Python - delfar - Sep-14-2017
Hey there,
On my main PC I have several different sound output devices that I have to constantly switch between. This process is tedious, as I have to go into the windows 'Playback Devices' menu, and search through my connected devices, and then set the one I want in the moment to my systems default output.
As a work around for this I am attempting to create a physical switch box with an Arduino Uno. Each button, when pressed, will switch my default output to the programmed device that button represents. To control the windows side of things, I am hoping to have a python script that will listen for a serial command from the Arduino, and then change the default device accordingly.
My question is..
Is there a way in python to change this setting on the Window OS?
I have researched a bunch into different libraries that may be able to help, but so far no luck.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks!

Not sure, but possibly portaudio: http://www.portaudio.com/
You'll have to dig into the docs.
