Thanks Contributors

Post by blueb »

It's time to thank all the people who contribute to this great forum. It's way beyond terrific!

A few days ago, I had trouble running the correct sound device on my computer, depending on the order that the USB ports started.

My flight simulator program uses different sound devices depending on if I want to use headphones, etc.

Actually my whole system has 7 sound devices in total (every monitor has built-in speakers, etc.), so it can be a nightmare to setup.

So I asked my friendly Microsoft Co-Pilot: How to find my sound devices? and eventually pointed me to the Audio API and an API command 'waveOutGetNumDevs'.

I did a quick search on this forum and it lead me to BasicallyPure's sound code: viewtopic.php?p=431329#p431329

It did 99% of what I needed, and saved me a ton of work. I really appreciate the effort the contributors put into this forum. 8)
