Hi Adam,

You could try this, which gives you system version of the sound device stored in your user's Preferences/byHost folder. I don't know where this is converted to the device name you see in System Preferences though.

---
set myMACAddr to do shell script "ifconfig en0 | awk '/ether/ { gsub(\":\", \"\"); print $2 }'"
set myPath to POSIX path of ((path to preferences folder from user domain as text) & "byHost:.GlobalPreferences." & myMACAddr)
do shell script "defaults read " & quoted form of myPath & " com.apple.audio.CoreAudio.DefaultOutputDevice.actual"
---


You could also investigate com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist in /Library/Preferences.

Best wishes

John Maisey
