[QUOTE="mrspock, post: 1038068, member: 82522"] As the original author do not provide an updated version, and the one from @[USER=45997]Nephilim[/USER] only supports BASS player for music (thanks, but I need it not only for music), I had looked for a workaround that now it's working for me. I found that exists a few Audio Switch programs, so after reading a little bit about them, I selected one of them and tried it: it works! If someone wishes to try it, this is how I got it (I'm using Windows 7 64 bits): [LIST=1] [*]Go to [URL='https://code.google.com/p/audioswitch/']AudioSwitch[/URL] and download latest version (2.0 RC2 at the time of writing this) plus the patch at [URL='https://code.google.com/p/audioswitch/issues/detail?id=28#c3']AudioSwitch patch[/URL]. [*]Unzip it and then unzip the AudioSwitch v2.0 RC2.zip. Forget the other files: AudioSwitchSetup.exe file is the installer (not really needed) and source.zip contains the source code. [*]Copy the files AudioSwitch.exe and Settings.xml and folder Skins in any place in your hard drive. Replace the AudioSwitch.exe with the one from the patch. [*]Run AudioSwitch.exe. A new icon will appear in the system tray. Left click it, and a selectable list of audio devices will appear. Press F1 key to get the configuration window. [*]In the Hot Keys tab, select the desired hotkey for SwitchPlaybackDevice. I disabled all the others. [*]In the Devices tab, [S]do not hide any device because it sometimes make it crash[/S] you can hide and device you don't want to use. In the General tab you can select to show or not OSD, move it, define the timeout or change OSD skin. Do no touch anything else. [*]Configure a button in your remote to the hotkey selected in step 5. [*]Run MP. [*]When you want to switch the audio device, press the hotkey: it will cycle through all the devices. Some tips: do not press hotkey very quickly (wait the OSD hides); in some cases, it refuses to change (just play some music or video and stop it, and retry); switch audio devices while no sound is being played (or else it would not change). [*]If you are happy, make it runable at Windows start: put a shortcut to AudioSwitch.exe into Windows Start folder (in Windows menú). [*]If you are unhappy, just remove the files copied in step 3. [/LIST] There are other similar programs out there, but I did not tried because this one worked for me. If you want to try, these are other programs: [LIST] [*][URL='http://www.hoaitech.com/audio-output-switcher']Audio Output Switcher[/URL]: you can assign a hotkey per device. [*][URL='http://soundswitch.codeplex.com/']Sound Switch[/URL]: development has stopped [*][URL='http://heilnizar.deviantart.com/art/PlaybackDevice-Audio-Output-Switch-285591834']PlaybackDevice[/URL]: uses a third party application [/LIST] Hope this is usefull for people until we got a fully working new updated version of ARC.
