Caveat -- though it's uncommon, your code should be ready to handle not finding a 'bltn' device. I believe G4 Cubes only had usb audio, no built in.

Dave,

You can query the transport type property
(kAudioDevicePropertyTransportType) to get a 4-char code like this:

(from IOAudioTypes.h)

enum {
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypeBuiltIn                = 'bltn',
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypePCI                    = 'pci ',
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypeUSB                    = 'usb ',
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypeFireWire                = '1394',
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypeNetwork                = 'ntwk',
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypeWireless                = 'wrls',
     kIOAudioDeviceTransportTypeOther                = 'othr'
};

HTH.

Hi CA-API,

I'm querying the list of available audio devices using the
AudioDeviceGetProperty API, and I need to find some way to know
when I've
come across the default built-in Mac device.  This is because I
want to
present my own localised string in my application to present this
device for
selection.

Is there a way that I can determine (based on the info available to
me from
getting name, property, uniqueid etc) that a given device is the
default
built-in audio device?  I mean literally the built-in sound card,
not the
device currently selected as "Default" for output.

Thanks for any help,

Dave Addey.
