Audio Switcher

[Pyromanik]

I'm from Germany and frankly I'm only here because I was looking (with google) for such a tool.

That is so awesome. Welcome.
(and kudos to Xeno!)



Also the bot thing; we get quite a few breaking through the captcha often, and some are 'content aware' to an extent. Eg. post some sort of almost relevant comment in line with the topic, but without actually mentioning the topic at all (in order to try an trick people before posting subtle spam links so people will think they're legitimate I guess).
Your first post was quite specific, but it's a bit of a rolling joke around here for new members who just pop up out of nowhere. Sorry if it caused any offence

[Xenolightning]

You'll have to excuse Pyro. He is very protective of his internet space

We do get a lot of bots here though so I can understand is enquiry.

Glad to hear its working.

Weird and cool that google found this page for this tool.

Hayyyyyy!

Emrico One;

Do you still want show/hide devices? If so, I will do that at some point, also introduce custom names for the devices (separate from CPL)

Yeah man, that would be good.

Make a build from emrico using various coloured vaginas and penis', it will make things easier for him. Somehow.

[Xenolightning]

No problem Emrico Juan.

You know I shall let when this is complete. Herh herh herh.

How about using the icon from the activated/default sound device as program-icon in systray?

I made that change on my local PC.

But I'm not so sure if its a good one or not. Will mean you will be looking for a changing icon to switch the devices.

Will submit it for "approval" before releasing.



By the way everyone:

I am refreshing the whole UI. If you would like to have some input into the layout just drop you suggestions here.

I don't mind the current layout, but I will touching up the lists, buttons and menus mostly.

Why not just make it an option in some settings menu somewhere?

I was thinking that, but the settings were supposed to be a simple thing, and with all the new settings it's getting to be a beast.

I will have to rethink how the settings work, and generate XML for settings.

Can go out with UIv2

[Pyromanik]

Just lay it out nice and it'll be still simple. It's amazing the difference a nice design makes.

Using this to grab mic from USB headset and sound via speakers. Cheers bud works a treat

hmm, I guess you are right. Probably not a good Idea...

Another thing: The "Startup Device" is selected when starting the program - that works great.
But the Systray-Popup and Tooltip are showing the wrong device (if the device changes at startup).

Shweet, good to hear.

Yeah, not to mention the icons are hard to identify when shrunk down to task bar size.

[Codex]

Colour them for task bar

[Pyromanik]

Make sure colour has a u in it, like a bawss.

Wooo, with the wind down of a major work project I now have time to improve Audio Switcher.

Version 2 is well in the works!

Major changes:
- Complete overhaul of the GUI. It's now a flatter more consistent look.
- Complete overhaul of the Sound Library. There is now a core eventing model to propagate changes from the kernel to the ui.
- Support for MACROS! Macros will replace the hotkey functionality. As part of this I have implemented a Lua engine, and extended it with a direct access api into the sound library
- New Icon! Thanks Emrico, <3 u

Things still to be added
- Proper updater support
- Better error logging

gawd, that "Just make it work" stage of error logging.

"Error: aww fuck, it broke."

Thanks logger, I know exactly where to look!

lol

Nope, don't do that. Either its in dev, or it at least logs a stack trace.

don't the pro's test in prod

Absolutely. It's the best place to treat. Especially payment testing :B
