windows 7 - C# How to programatically change the playback device

Question

How can I programatically change the default audio device on a vista / win 7 system? Using C# or a Win API call?

Answer 1

The WinMM API should provide the functionality that you request.

You would use the DRVM_MAPPER_PREFERRED_SET message, which is sent with waveOutMessage() function.

However, if you are trying to send the waveform sound out yourself, you should look at the WinMM.Net library.
