I have two quick actions to turn on separate devices, but I would like to have one action to switch between the two devices. how do I do this?

I use something like [ "$(AudioSwitcher -c)" = "Built-in Output" ] && AudioSwitcher -s "DisplayPort" || AudioSwitcher -s "Built-in Output"

Thank you! But i don't understand how to use it. My example is based on this one

zuckschwerdt commented 3 years ago

It's just the Shell Script, like the one you already have. E.g. replace

/usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -t output -s 'Cayin N3Pro'

with

[ "$(/usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -c)" = "Built-in Output" ] && /usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -s "Cayin N3Pro" || /usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -s "Built-in Output"

or, simpler, maybe just use

/usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -n

which will switch to each next audio output available (A -> B -> ... -> A).

Thank you! Unfortunately, an error comes out when calling a quick action.

/usr/local/bin/SwitchAudioSource -n

this option is not suitable because you need to switch between two devices out of three (without built-in macbook speakers)

becauseim commented 3 years ago

my goal is to switch between two external output devices with one keyboard shortcut

Try in Terminal.app to see what's wrong.

Closing this because it is not an issue directly related to switchaudio-osx.

I hope you are able to resolve your problem with your bash script.

If anybody lands here, I wrote this bash script to toggle between 2 audio interfaces with Alfred.

Though this Alfred Workflow is readily done and works great :) https://github.com/dkarter/alfred-switch-audio
