There is no API for this. Can you elaborate on your scenario? We may
have an alternate solution for you in Vista.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Setting Default Sound Device Programmatically in
Vista
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
