Ok - I just found the HALLab app that does what I want - so I know it's possible with CoreAudio.

Unless there's an easier way to do it, I'll take HALLab as starting point... ugh, that's not gonna be so easy.

Hi Bill,

this is for me, for some tests on a remotely controlled (ssh) Mac Mini - it's about testing various USB playback/DAC devices...

So, though not recommended for a commercial app (which make a lot of sense), I'd like to be able to change these setting from the command line.
It there a way or do I need to build a small core audio command line prog for that?
(Or can't I change these setting even with Core Audio?)

We generally prefer that you do not change the user's default device settings, but rather let this be in the control of a user directly (thus only UI such as Sound Pref Pane should change these)

We also generally recommend that you work with the current settings of a device rather than changing these as well.

So, perhaps the right place to start is to ask why/what you want to change here?

Hi all.

In System Preferences->Output one can choose the output device and in Audio Midi Setup the format of the output.
How can I change these settings from the console?
And ideally get a list of audio devices too.


Can this be done or just using APIs (in the later case I'd appreciate some pointers where to start looking).

Best
Mark
