2 years ago Oh boy!
How new are we talking?? LOL.
Just to let you know that the library only works with Python 2.7. I have not spent the time to make it 3.6+ compatible. I wanted to let you know that out of the gate.
I never wrote a setup program for it so you have to manually copy the pyWinCoreAudio folder into your {PYTHON_ROOT}/}Libs/site-packages folder.
you will need to have comtypes installed into your python installation
pip install comtypes
you can do a lot with this library. If the script loops and continues to run you can register callbacks for when things change. for example if the default renderer (output endpoint) changes you can get a notification that it has changed, or if the volume changes. you can also use this library to detect when sound is is being output
lets start with the basics before we get into the notifications. The script below shows you how to enumerate (list) all devices and all endpoints for those devices.
from __future__ import print_function
import pyWinCoreAudio
default_render = pyWinCoreAudio.AudioDevices.default_render_endpoint
print('default render device:', default_render.device.name)
print('default render endpoint:', default_render.name)
print('default render endpoint volume:', default_render.volume.master_scalar * 100, '%')
default_capture = pyWinCoreAudio.AudioDevices.default_capture_endpoint
print('default capture device:', default_capture.device.name)
print('default capture endpoint:', default_capture.name)
print('default capture endpoint volume:', default_capture.volume.master_scalar * 100, '%')

Hi! I'm a new python programmer and I just discovered this library But I can't find any tutorial or similar to learn how to use it. Can someone help me please?
