Change console output device?

Hi all,
I have a laptop that I sometimes connect to a larger monitor. I would like to be able to change my console output device so that I can connect to my larger monitor on the fly and have my console output switch over-- basically I'm looking for xrandr for the console (xrandr does the job just fine in X11).
If I initially boot up with my laptop screen closed and my monitor connected, the console output goes to my monitor as desired. But I would like to be able to switch output devices on the fly, rather than having to reboot to switch console output between my monitor and laptop screen. Thanks for any help

just found your post...
I ask the same here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=68589 without an answer yet, maybe you want to suscribe to mine as i do here in yours

How to chang audio-output-device(s) in Windwos 8

Hi,
currently I’m working on an application that starts by changing the audio-output-device and ends with re-setting the old one.
On Windows XP I do this by changing the Registry-entry “Sound-Mapper” and it works quite well.
I hopefully assume it works on all Windows Systems from XP to Windows 7.
The background is that our program is supposed to play certain multi-channel sounds over an external USB-multichannel-soundcard and it should switch to that device on start. To actually play the sounds we use the AxWindowsMediaPlayer-Class
to integrate the Windows-Media-Player in our application.
However, on Windows 8, it is possible to set multiple Audio-Outputs and the Windows-Media-player has a setting to choose from them (under Options). I was unable to use the Registry-trick to switch the output-device and I could not find
a way to programmatically tell the AxWindowsMediaPlayer to choose the USB-soundcard as an output.
Is there a Way to programmatically(c#) ether change the audio-output-device(s) in Windos8 or to tell
AxWindowsMediaPlayer to use a certain device?
Thank you.

Hi Kristin,
I think your reply pushed me in the right direction.
The waveOutOpen-function is part of the
winmm.dll-API and I think, that API is the solution to my Problem.
Unfortunately I am stuck at this point. I tried mciSendString and mciSendComand. Both are cappable of playing sound, but I am unable to change the output Device.
This is my c# code to open a WAV-File via mciSendCommand:
MCI_OPEN_PARMS open = new MCI_OPEN_PARMS();
open.wDeviceID = 0;//this is somehow ignored
open.lpstrDeviceType = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi("waveaudio");
open.lpstrElementName = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(@"test.wav");
IntPtr ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MCI_OPEN_PARMS)));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(open, ptr, false);
mciSendCommand(Convert.ToUInt32(textBox2.Text),
MCI_OPEN,
MCI_WAIT | MCI_OPEN_TYPE | MCI_OPEN_ELEMENT,
ptr);
Afterwards I use mciSendCommand to start the playing of the sound, which works fine, but no matter what I enter in the “open.wDeviceID”-Line, I always get sound over
the default output.
I use waveOutGetDevCaps to get the number and kind of the output-Devices and this works fine.

No longer able to mute or change playback output device for capture.

I have no preview button to turn off in my capture window and have instead gone into the FCP preferences to change the playback output device to something other then my Fireface800 IO device, such as the built in output so that what's being captured only comes out the little speaker in the tower.
Thus I am free to work on other stuff. (8 core mac pro, gobs of ram, multitasking has never been a problem, even while capturing HD.)
But as of the latest update (I keep all my apps up to date), capture plays through the System default device no mater what the FCP setting. So with out a mute button for the capture, I'm screwed.
I'm screwed because I have to Mix down an EP while I capture 26 hours of conference footage at the same time. Obviously, I can't mix properly with that chatter playing loudly over it.
Apple said I have to reinstall because there's no preview button and there should be but I am curious if there's any other way (because it's a huge pain in the *** and tends to screw up other things) and I would like to know if the way I usually do it is broken for other people, so I know if I can upgrade to the latest version again because it was some goofball problem with the framework that reinstalling fixed or if not because that's a bug in 7.0.3
1. Choose one audio output (say, Built in Line Output or your default sound card) everywhere that matters in the Final Cut preferences for Audio output, including Audio Playback Output which is what I've been using to switch this for, gosh, years probably just out of habit.
2. Log and Capture, capture some footage from tape. (I happen to be working with a basic HDV firewire profile.) What device do you hear output from?
3. Stop capturing... and, if you wish, for good measure, close the capture window.
4. Go back to FCP preferences, now choose a DIFFERENT audio output, say, Built In Speaker Output.
5. Try to capture some footage. Is the sound coming out of the built in speaker now?
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO QUICKLY SILENCE THE AUDIO FROM FCP DURING CAPTURE?
Thank you.

excuse me, not linksystem, its a verizon FIOS wireless router & modem as part of the package. i was thinking my old setup.
new system...cant edit my posts....?

Changing audio output device for currently running program

I'm not sure where to put this question, but all my searching hasn't seemed to find an answer...
If I have a program running, iTunes, VLC, a game, whatever, and want to change audio output from say Line Out to Headphones, I have to restart the program for the change to take effect. Is this by design/normal or am I missing something somewhere?

this is actually a quiet significant issue. There is no way in Flash to select the audio output device.
Today people have regular speakers and a separate headset. They all use the speakers for music and the headset for voice. Skype i.e. has the option to choose audio output device and its really handy, because
you dont have to bother to set the default device to the headset everytime you want to use it.
If you set the default device to the headset all other apps will send their audio output to the headset - which is not what you want either.
So people really want to leave the default device set to the speakers and not to the headset.
Nokia did this for Java
JRT 2.1 / Nokia UI API updated to version 1.4:
AudioOutputControl extension for controlling which audio output device, for example the device loudspeaker or earpiece, is used to play back audio
This really is an issue.

Changing audio output device

Hi,
I'm building an application that uses LCCS for video calls.
We've encountered an issue that we couldn't find any solution for and we believe is crucial.
Since the current version doesn't support AEC, all our users uses headphones to use the service.
The problem is, that to the best of my knowledge, if you plug-in USB headset, there is no way to make flash switch to using them instead of the regular audio output. If that is true,this means that assuming a user has USB headphones, even if we will add a note in the application saying "use headset to reduce echo" - that won't help as the user has no way of using his headset with our application.
Am i missing something? please tell me I am.
Thanks,
Itzik.

Change Output Device Of Report

I have been given a request to change the output device (laser printer) of a report within our SAP system. All I know is the report name (YAPR9876), current output device (BH9J), and requested new output device (THBQ).
How can I go about finding this report and updating its output device.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
There is a section in IM customising under outout determination and printer determination where youn can make settings as to what prints where.
This report must have a setting and when you find it just change the printer
I hope that this helps

Change Output Device Settings @ Runtime?

This will sound silly, but there is a good reason for it :). Also, I am not much of an ABAPer.
We have a requirement to change output device settings on the fly in a program. For instance, in case A, we would like to use the output device as it was originally configured in SPAD. However, in case B, we would like to override the output device's access method and host dynamically in code.
Is there any function module or technique that can change these output device properties via code at runtime (printtime)?
Thanks,
Kris

Output device in SPAD/Smartform

Hi All,
We have a ouput device created through SPAD transaction with a name of 14 characters.
We want to pass the output device name to the Smartform. But the smartform has a parameter of ssfcompop-tdest of only 4 characters.
We do not want to change the output device name from 14 characters to 4 characters.
Is there any alternative to pass the Output device name to smartform without changing the name of output device.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Prashant

Hi prashant,
even you create 14 chars or 20 chars it doesn't matter. but we will pass the short name not the name which you created 14 chars. i guess you might gave <b>short name</b> for your printer in SPAD while creating check it, that you have to pass.

Email Address not visible for output device MAIL in created batch job

Issue in ECC6.0: Email Address not visible to display/change for output device MAIL in print parameter of each step in the created batch job.
User wants to periodically receive report file via send to his email, so I create the batch job running report and send the report in pdf file to his email.
Detail in the batch job
1) In print parameter screen of the step in the batch job
-Using output device MAIL (output type ZPDF1)
-inputting email address of receiver in the EMAIL ADDRESS field
2) After the batch job was saved, I tried to display/change the field EMAIL ADDRESS via Tx. SM37, but this field is invisible. The field can not be displayed or changed anymore. I also tried in SM36, but it is for creating new batch job, not changing the existing batch job.
4) User receives email with pdf file from the batch job.
How to change/display the email address of the receiver in the created batch job?
Note that we just changed to use SAP ECC6 from SAP 4.6c. In SAP 4.6c, we can change/display the
Email Address Field via Tx. SM37.
Pls kindly suggest, thank you very much in advance.

Hi Srirompoti,
After saving the job if the job has not started then you can follow the below steps to change the Email address.
1. View the job from Txn SM37.
2. check the check box for your job that you want to change and goto menu path "Job->change
3. in the next screen goto "Edit->steps." or press "F6" key
4. place the coursor on the job and goto menu path "Step->change->print specifications.
5. here you can change the email address.
If you are not able change the data then you might not have authorization.

Automatically choose an output device for itunes?

I have several audio input and output devices, for example, a speaker phone for skype, speakers with sub woofer for itunes. Is there a way to make an Output device automatically be choose for a specific app such as itunes? I would never want to listen to itunes over the speaker phone nor skype with the speakers/subwoofer.
I find my self often changing the output device with the ALT speaker icon in the upper right, but this doesn't always end well if you have already started the audio out of the wrong output device.
Any ideas?
thanks
bob

hello, friend.

FaceTime set Output Device

Hi guys,
this question is not specifically related to Yosemite or Handsoff, but I noticed it the first time trying to make phone calls via FaceTime.
I got a iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2013) – both updated to the latest OS version.
I was trying to use the new feature of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite to make a phone call via the iPhone.
I've connected a 2.1 Soundsystem via Belkin Dock to my Mac and also a USB Headset.
FaceTime has the possibility to set the audio input device only for this app, but not the output device.
I would like to change the output device for any FaceTime calls (via iPhone or Internet) to the USB headset.
Is there a chance to set the audio in/output device app specific?
I think that it is a common problem, as I cannot imagine that anyone would use the build-in microphone and speakers in any office?!
Of course I searched for the problem, but didn't find anything useful.
Kind regards
caldi

You can get only a single document preview, I think. I have never tried, but I don´t think that is possible.
What you see is not the second document preview, but the last document in the batch, is that right?
You can experiment with the form bundling (bundling the forms when sending them to ADS improves performance), but I don´t think that will help.
Why do you need to do this "mass preview" anyway? Maybe you should create a tool to help the user display these preview. I am close to HR and can imagine a tool, which is used for mass personal profile forms. I would create a simple report, where you click on the line and get the document preview/ profile of the selected person.
Imho if you do the "mass" print/ generation, your task is to be fast and you target on the printer. If you work with a single form, then it is like "user-oriented".

2012 Mac Mini - Using multi-output device?

I'm trying to get my Mini to output sound over HDMI and the headphone jack. This question has been asked before, but the answer wrongly claimed OSX didn't support it. The Audio MIDI Setup program (in the Utilities folder) does in fact let you set up a multi-output device that uses the headphone and hdmi out. But when I try to output sound with that device, I don't get anything.
Before I bought this computer, the Apple Store drone claimed this multi-output was possible. But this wouldn't be the first time I've talked to a complete idiot there.

Some more updates:
using multi-output and having the line out set as master prevents 5.1 surround from being output on HDMI, which is fine for my use. When I have something plugged into the headphone jack (in my case wireless outdoor speakers) the settings app won't even allow the settings app to choose HDMI as the audio output device, which is also likely why HDMI can't be master in the MIDI app.
So to get 5.1 surround back for movies I need to unplug whatever's in the headphone jack and change the output device from the multi-output option to HDMI. It's sad my 6 year old PS3 handles this more elegantly and sensibly but at least I don't have to take back my Mini now

Is there a way to have Firefox respect the default audio output device when it has been changed while Firefox is open?

I have been a Firefox user for many years and I still use it as my primary browser. One problem that has bothered me for years is the fact that when Firefox is open and I change my default audio output device, Firefox doesn't respect that change and continues playing audio through the device that was originally being used. Even if you stop the audio and continue playing, the output device doesn't change.
Is there any way this can be configured in Firefox? Now if I listen to music online (e.g. Soundcloud) I always use Chrome since it's respects the default audio output device change even while in the middle of playing audio.
Reproduce:
1. Start playing audio (e.g. from a YouTube video; HTML5 and Flash are affected)
2. Change your default audio output device
3. Audio will continue to play from original output device
Thanks!

This is the same issue that has plagued me for years. I always thought that this was a Flash plugin issue, but it does occur on HTML5 as well. A friend of mine verified that this does not occur in Linux, but only on Windows. It would be great to have this fixed, as it's honestly the only thing that's making me use Chrome all the time, as I don't want to have multiple browsers open.

Output device change

Dears SAPers,
We are having the following problem. The output device is change by one inexistent when the output is executed.
When the user creates the outbound delivery the output is determinate, but not prints yet (status not processed). Here the output device is correct and is the one set in the condition record. Then, when the user executes the post good issue the output device is change by one inexistent call SIS0, and the field Spool request: Name is complete with the name of the message.
Does anyone know what is happening?
I will reward.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Emilio,
please first check the entry in table NAST, field LDEST. Is it correct after saving the delivery ?
I think the best is then to set a breakpoint during the creation of the goods issue in function module MESSAGING in order to find out if the printer is changed here. If this does not help please goto TA V/34, find out the used print program and set a breakpoint there (normally at the beginning of form ENTRY).
Regards,
Andreas
