Hi All,

i have installed and I have checked and can get some of the commands to work, however when i try tho add the name of the device I want too control it doe not work.

rickhoy@MacBook-Pro ~ % SwitchAudioSource -s USB PnP Sound Device Could not find an audio device named "USB" of type output. Nothing was changed.

The below is the list of devices. I'm trying to use USB Pnp Sound Device. I can also use the command "SwitchAudioSource -n" and it will cycle through the devices.

@MacBook-Pro ~ % SwitchAudioSource -a
Rick iPhone Microphone Display Audio Display Audio USB PnP Sound Device Generic USB Audio Device
MacBook Pro Microphone MorphVOX Audio AirParrot LED Cinema Display LED Cinema Display Display Audio Display Audio USB PnP Sound Device Generic USB Audio Device
MacBook Pro Speakers MorphVOX Audio AirParrot

Any suggestions would be great.

You need to quote: rickhoy@MacBook-Pro ~ % SwitchAudioSource -s "USB PnP Sound Device" -- one string not four words.
