Hi, I am looking for a way to programmatically set the sound device for
playback in Windows Vista. In XP, you could set the SoundMapper registry
setting "Playback" key to the name of the device you wanted the program to
use as long as you set it before program startup. Once the program started,
you could set the "Playback" key to a different device and have all the
other applications use that device. This helps keep sound secluded for
recording audio calls and things of that nature.
The only caveat is that you couldn't use the mmsys.cpl to reset the device
otherwise the program would default back to the device you set it back to
once the program stopped outputting audio.
Does anyone know if there is a registry key in Vista that will do the same
thing as in XP?
Thank you,
John
