CEF Forum

I am aware that plugins like flash are responsible for their own audio rendering, but for audio rendered using HTML5 is there a way to let CEF use another device than windows default ? In other words , an option to set default playback device used by CEF .

Is there an option to set this in Chrome? If so, then we can potentially expose the option in CEF.

I would think you would activate whatever audio device you wanted (either Render or Capture) using CoreAudio API and that would be picked up by the HTML 5 app.

If that device is activated, then the default device would not be used, I would think it would pick up the activated device for that session.
So no changed to the CEF, changes to your application running the CEF.

This is just a guess, I've switched audio devices in applications using CoreAudio API, but never for an HTML 5 app.

Oh CoreAudio API is vista or later, XP will be Mixer API.

Well disregard my post above, it will work, but will turn out to be a hack job. Unfortunately.

I see that chrome lets you choose the microphone and camera devices for WebRTC pages such as this one:

There is a camera icon on the right side of the address bar that you can click to bring up a panel to control these things.

However, I don't see a way to control the audio output device. I guess it always uses the OS default.

It would be nice for CEF to be able to control these things.

Hi magreenblatt,

Is this option available now with current CEF3.
