How To Choose a System Sound Output Path?
Hello Geniuses
I have this great little line of code that says "your bounce is finished sir" when my bounce script finishes running.
Problem is, the audio comes out of whatever i have my system audio set to, which is always different than my monitors which are coming off my avid carbon.
I am wondering if there is a way to use soundflow to route a specific audio command to a specific sound output.
In this case i want to use "Studio Display Speakers"
Thank you!
sf.system.exec({
commandLine: `say "Your bounce is finished sir."`
});

At the end of this post, I go over a few ways to set the sound output on a Mac. These may help you out.
You can get device IDs for your audio devices with this short script:
log(sf.audio.getAudioDevices().devices)The device IDs will show up in the log. You can access the full log here:
The output will look something like this:
[ { "DeviceId": 126, "DeviceName": "Universal Audio Thunderbolt", "IsActiveInput": false, "IsActiveOutput": false } ]Then, you can set an audio device by the device ID with another short script like this:
sf.audio.selectAudioDevice({deviceId:126})
Chad Wahlbrink @Chad2024-10-29 16:12:44.864ZI think you should be able to switch to the studio display speakers like this:
// Define the active audio device let activeAudioDevice = sf.audio.getAudioDevices().devices.filter(x => x.isActiveOutput)[0] let studioDisplayDevice = sf.audio.getAudioDevices().devices.filter(x => x.deviceName == 'Studio Display Speakers')[0] // Set output to Studio display sf.audio.selectAudioDevice({deviceId:studioDisplayDevice.deviceId}) // Say "Your Bounce is Finished Sir" sf.system.exec({ commandLine: `say "Your bounce is finished sir."` }); // Activate the last active Audio Device sf.audio.selectAudioDevice({deviceId:activeAudioDevice.deviceId})- PPhilip weinrobe @Philip_weinrobe
