IDEA: button for toggling stereo <-> mono
« on: July 23, 2022, 07:26 PM »
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
THANKS!

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

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)

Please remove "MonoToggler.exe.config" file.

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

Thanks for your report. Audiosrv restart should be fixed :up:

Please retry with ALPHA02:

https://github.com/p...releases/tag/ALPHA02

1) Unzip
2) Right-click / Run as administrator
3) Provide feedback here! :)

Cheers!

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  :)

Done!

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

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

You may want to follow a tutorial such as this:
