IDEA: button for toggling stereo <-> mono

[toniash]

Create a button that reads the registry key " AccessibilityMonoMixState" present in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Audio and shows accordingly
STEREO / push to set mono or
MONO / push to set stereo
and executes 'powershell -windowstyle hidden -command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/c,REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Audio" /V AccessibilityMonoMixState /T REG_DWORD /D 1 /F & net stop "Audiosrv" & net start "Audiosrv"' -Verb runAs"' or
'powershell -windowstyle hidden -command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/c,REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\Audio" /V AccessibilityMonoMixState /T REG_DWORD /D 0 /F & net stop "Audiosrv" & net start "Audiosrv"' -Verb runAs"'

so it's possible to know the stereo/mono state and change it (if needed) pushing the button

Having problems?

All good code-wise! Currently adding the RegistryEvent "wrapper" for status detection to be real time



(Just had quite a time @ work, but release IS coming! )

Cheers!

Looks nice!

Looks nice!

I take it you want status change to be detected in real time, correct?

(If it's manual refresh, then the app is pretty much done)

Yes, it's better if the status detected in real time

Please remove "MonoToggler.exe.config" file.

Also, you may want to retry running it as admin to be able to restart "Audiosrv" service.

Now it works running as admin
Is it possible Change the text to "MONO press to stereo" & "STEREO press to mono"?
File -> Refresh means reading the status in the register? (Better F5 than CTRL+N)
I would like run it at autostart but how do I run it as admin?
Thanks

Here is latest ALPHA03 release: https://github.com/publicdomain/mono-toggler/releases/tag/ALPHA03

Is it possible Change the text to "MONO press to stereo" & "STEREO press to mono"?

Done!

File -> Refresh means reading the status in the register? (Better F5 than CTRL+N)

Yes, File/Refresh = registry value read + update. Correct & done!

I would like run it at autostart but how do I run it as admin?
