CLI

SoundSwitch includes a command-line interface (SoundSwitch.CLI) for advanced users who want to control audio devices, manage profiles, and automate device switching through scripts.

Available Commands

The CLI provides the following capabilities:

• Switch devices — Change the active playback or recording device by name or index.
• Mute microphone — Toggle or set the mute state of the default communication microphone.
• Manage profiles — Switch between saved audio profiles or list available profiles.
• Access settings — Query or modify SoundSwitch configuration values.

Using the CLI

Run SoundSwitch.CLI.exe --help (or --version) from the command line to see all available commands and their syntax. The CLI communicates with the main SoundSwitch process via IPC, so the main application should be running.

Examples
