I know it's probably not the best place to ask but I thought maybe someone would know the answer. I'm trying to find the best way to automate changing audio devices in Windows and setting up 3 repeaters with VAC. I know that the Windows sound settings cannot be changed by any other applications (by design) so I guess a mouse macro might be the way to do that, but VAC can be done by batch file. What I need to do (in this order) are:

change default playback to virtual cable 2
start repeater for virtual cable 2 to USB audio device (my headphones)
start repeater for virtual cable 2 to soundcard speaker output (which goes to streaming PC line in, for desktop audio)
start repeater for USB microphone (my headset mic) to virtual cable 3 (which goes to streaming PC mic in, for commentary audio)

I also need an automated way to change the default playback device to USB audio device (headphones) and kill all the repeaters once I have finished streaming. Would AHK do this job or is there a better way?

Thanks.

PS. OBS is great!

Hey Guys!! IM new here and just wanted to make a great addition to the forum. This is my program : Vac Helper.
IT will make bat files which you can run and will automate the whole redirecting and opening of VAC.. Its really easy check it out !

You will need java though.
Here you can watch a video (in spanish) to show you how it works .

This is just the first iteration! Great things are coming, you will be able to launch macros from the program and not only one but a series of them!! To make the whole opening of the audiorepeaters on only 1 click!!

Hope to get some feedback, thanks!
