C# play sound from specific audio device

[AndrewMKlasen]

Hello, so I'm looking into creating a "AI" smart home from scratch for a DIY project. so Linus did a video on the Anker speackers where he paired 100 of them together, now I want to have my Ai speak to me also, I can toi that with System.Speech API on windows, I am using a windows machine to power it. I'm wondering if I can have my program find every speaker paired (around 15 maybe) and what ever room I'm speaking from the speaker in that room with give the ouput instead of all 15 speakers in the house. I also would like to know about multiple mics?

 

This program does work because I've had it in my room before I moved out of my parents.

I think windows dominates that, but I may be wrong.

 

In the audio settings for windows, you state which output device for each application (if you want to change from the default output device.)

But how would I program that? to change default device based on what room Im in

You might need to write a script with powershell & interact with that script somehow with your main program. 

 

Or... you might have to do some network linking.

Internet of Things may be of interest to you as well..

 

I think Microsoft has a lot of resources for that kind of stuff.
