Cannot choose Audio Output via command line

[caleb666]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the audio output to DirectX with a selected output device, and then also turn SPDIF output:

Code: Select all

vlc --aout="directx" --directx-audio-device="TX-NR727 (Intel(R) Display Audio)" --spdif

This launches VLC with the audio settings untouched (the audio output is "Automatic").

Using VLC 2.1.3 on Windows 8.1 x64.

"TX-NR27..." does not look like a valid device GUID. Please recheck your command line.

I thought I was supposed to use the same string that appears in VLC?

How do I find out the device GUID?

By the way, even running "vlc --aout=directx" doesn't seem to work. Have you tried the commandline yourself?

Bump!

So I guess that this is a bug?

Hello Remi,

I found out the GUID and I tried the same command-line with a GUID instead of the name, but still nothing changed in VLC.

I simply want a command line option that will let me do the following:
* Switch the audio output module to "DirectX audio output"
* Enable "Use S/PDIF when available"
* Choose a particular output device

Is this possible with VLC or not? Because the command lines above don't do anything.
Even trying to switch the output device to DirectX by --aout=directx doesn't change anything in VLC!
