AudioEndPointController

A Windows command-line utility that allows you to list active audio end-points and set the default device. This tool includes optimized performance through device caching, enabling faster selection of default devices.

>EndPointController.exe --help
Lists active audio end-point playback or capture devices or sets the default audio end-point device.

USAGE

EndPointController.exe [--input | --output] [-a] [-f format_str]  Lists audio end-point devices that are enabled.

EndPointController.exe device_index [--input | --output]         Sets the default device with the given index.

OPTIONS

• --input Target input devices (microphones).

• --output Target output devices (speakers/headphones) [Default].

• -a Display all devices, rather than just active devices.

• -f format_str Outputs the details of each device using the given format string. If this parameter is omitted, the format string defaults to: Audio Device %d: %ws

  Parameters passed to the 'printf' function are ordered as follows:

  • Device index (int)
  • Device friendly name (wstring)
  • Device state (int)
  • Device default? (1 for true, 0 for false as int)
  • Device description (wstring)
  • Device interface friendly name (wstring)
  • Device ID (wstring)
