feature request: let users configure the output device #19

Closed Sirs0ri closed 3 months ago

Sirs0ri commented 11 months ago

Description: Squeezelite has the option to set a specific output device (through the -o flag, docs), and the option to list all available output devices through -l.

I have a GoXLR audio interface that creates multiple virtual audio devices on my PC (e.g. "music", "system", "chat", etc) so that I can then assign programs to one of these channels and control each channel's volume with a hardware slider on the device.

It would be great if I could set squeezelite to output to my "music" channel, instead of it using the system's default channel.

My system: Windows 10 MA Companion 0.0.25

donkeykong3x3 commented 11 months ago

I definitely agree, but in the mean time I believe you can change individual programs audio output. I don't remember the exact location in Windows 10, but in should be something like Setting > Sound > Advanced > Volume Mixer.

Sirs0ri commented 11 months ago

I'm aware of that workaround, but it doesn't seem to work for me unfortunately - it'll always use the default sound device, instead of the one I picked for it. Since that seems to be a bug I've opened an issue in the squeezelite project for it: ralph-irving/squeezelite#198

arctixdev commented 11 months ago

You should now be able to select output device in the new update :smile:

Sirs0ri commented 11 months ago

Whoa, that was quick, thanks!

Some small feedback: The dropdown in the settings isn't getting populated for me, it only shows "default" as the only option. I had to reinstall the app to set the default device through the first-run wizard

The dropdown in the first-run wizard only showed the outputs' numbers, which in my case got a little cluttered. Would it be possible to include the device names as well? grafik

And a bigger issue: squeezelite won't start anymore on 0.0.28 😅 The app starts fine, but taskmanager doesn't show a squeezelite subprocess, and I can't stream music to my PC, it'll show up as "idle" in music assistant. The "Launch squeezelite" setting is on.

I'm not sure how I'd see any error messages, I'd love to send you a log otherwise.

arctixdev commented 11 months ago

Yeah sorry fixed in new version

arctixdev commented 11 months ago

It was a silly mistake on my end. About the list of output devices I currently just set it up to show the ones listed by squeezelite -l But i have to do some magic to parse the output to a list of strings and it might be different output on windows?

Could you maybe post the output of squeezelite -l on your system?

Sirs0ri commented 9 months ago

Hey, sorry for the long wait, I totally missed your last message! I just updated to .33 and noticed that the option's working (although the dropdown in the settings still shows "default", but that's just a visual error), thanks a lot!

The last section (namelly CARD=J40 - Jabra Evolve2 40) is not listed in my dropdown at the "default login screen" in v0.0.33. If I navigate to the settings->client then it is listed there.

Additionally, it would be nice, if the dropdown shows the name of the device instead the id of it.

Unfortunatelly the test is failed, because a restart is required after selecting another device. After the restart the command returns the -o null device with high cpu usage instead of the selected one. In this case the settings in the client tab shows wrongly default (instead of the wrong 'null' device) image

All of my issues are resolved related to this feature request. Tested with the latest deb version of v0.0.65 on Ubuntu 22.04.

(As a secondary glitch, still the 'id' is visible in the dropdown list, instead of the name of the device. But I don't know is it a good or bad behavior.... since the name can be a very long string and maybe it can happen that the differences can not be visible / remains to recognize it to hard. - so let's say, it works as intended.)

On ubuntu: image

Sirs0ri commented 3 months ago

since 0.70, the dropdown in the settings now also shows device names on Windows, and is initialized correctly with the selected device - Thanks!

domasist commented 2 months ago

MacOS, installed companion app v0.0.72, MA server v2.2.5 but music don't play on computer at all.

arctixdev commented 2 months ago

Does the computer show up as a media player in the frontend?

domasist commented 2 months ago

MacOS computer is automatically shown in MA as the Player and I can choose multiple devices connected to computer as a Audio output device, but non of them will actually work. The stream just doesn't start at all when the player is chosen MacOS. Other players are working just fine.

domasist commented 3 weeks ago

Hi there. Could someone help me with above mentioned problem? MA companion app is not able to play when the player is choosen MacOS itself.
