Script to change something

Kavalree · 25 Apr 2013 at 21:11

So, I want to be able to root my PS3 sound through my PC onto headphones for night-use. Problem is, I can only have 1 input active at a time and it's a PITA to keep changing it from 'mic' to 'optic' and back in the menu's. Is there a little script or batch file I can write to do this for me?

Short answer is NO!

Unfortunately there are no shortcuts when it comes to the windows sound system, I know because I have tried to do similar for the out put, the only thing i have found is called Audio Switch but that only does output devices

Well thats a shame...also a shame that my soundcard won't allow both mic and optic inputs live at the same time...

you should be able to automate it using autohotkey.

Ah looks like AudioSwitch has been updated since I downloaded it last as it never did source input before.
