Fddshow Audio Switch Mixer

[rickd]

I wnt to look for a way to automate switching mixer on off in ffdshow for headphone output to speakers for nite watching versus digital out i have to change the audio device currently and also the mixer from either no tick or 5.1 to tick and stereo.

Any way to switch this via commandline or via profile?

Ffdshow features "Profiles / Preset settings". Is that what you're looking for? Normally there's only "default", but you can make custom profiles.

I need to understand how to modify profile based on audio device is that possible?

You can do something similair by setting up different profiles for 2.0 or 5.1 but you'd need to setup and open 2 different executable files for your media player of choice. Try using the guide found on here for a guide:

ok so what you are saying is rename the .exe for say mediaportal or whatever thje player is for the headphone option so it selects the stereo profile versus the spif one.

is there away to tell ffdshow audio to select a different default device under profiles?

[fairchild]

You really copy the media player file for instance for 5.1 I'd just use mpc-hc.exe

For a 2.0 setup, I'd copy the mpc-hc.exe to a different directory (perhaps you can use it in the same directory as the original), and then rename this to say mpc-hc2.exe), then under Profile / Preset settings you need to create a new profile and specify the new exe file.

Again, all this is in that guide I linked if you read through it.
