AudioDeviceCmdlets is a module available in PowerShell that allows users to manage audio devices on Windows. This module provides a set of cmdlets that can be used to automate the configuration and management of audio devices, such as setting the default playback or recording device, and retrieving information about audio devices.

Examples:

1. Installing AudioDeviceCmdlets Module

   To use AudioDeviceCmdlets, you first need to install the module. Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

   Install-Module -Name AudioDeviceCmdlets -Scope CurrentUser

   This command installs the AudioDeviceCmdlets module for the current user.

2. Listing All Audio Devices

   To list all audio devices on your system, use the Get-AudioDevice cmdlet:

   Get-AudioDevice -List

   This command will display a list of all audio devices, including their names, IDs, and roles (e.g., playback or recording).

3. Setting the Default Playback Device

   To set a specific audio device as the default playback device, use the Set-DefaultAudioDevice cmdlet. First, identify the device you want to set as default using the Get-AudioDevice cmdlet, then run:

   Set-DefaultAudioDevice -Index 1

   Replace 1 with the index number of the desired audio device from the list obtained earlier.

4. Retrieving the Current Default Audio Device

   To find out which audio device is currently set as the default, use the Get-DefaultAudioDevice cmdlet:

   Get-DefaultAudioDevice

   This command will return the details of the current default audio device.

5. Changing the Volume of an Audio Device

   You can also change the volume of a specific audio device using the Set-AudioDeviceVolume cmdlet:

   Set-AudioDeviceVolume -Index 1 -Volume 50

   This sets the volume of the audio device with index 1 to 50%. Adjust the index and volume percentage as needed.

Alternatives

If AudioDeviceCmdlets is not suitable for your needs or if you're working in an environment where PowerShell modules cannot be installed, you can manage audio devices using Windows' built-in Sound settings through the Control Panel or the Settings app. Additionally, third-party applications like NirCmd can be used to manipulate audio settings via command line.
