Enhancement request: Sound device selector

Open Flavescent opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I'd appreciate it to be able to select the sound device directly from the settings rather than having to run python -m sounddevice.

When I do that I get 56 entries, and my headset appears 8 times:

2 Kopfhörermikrofon (Poly BT600), MME (1 in, 0 out) 11 Kopfhörer (Poly BT600), MME (0 in, 2 out) 14 Kopfhörermikrofon (Poly BT600), Windows DirectSound (1 in, 0 out) 23 Kopfhörer (Poly BT600), Windows DirectSound (0 in, 2 out) 30 Kopfhörer (Poly BT600), Windows WASAPI (0 in, 2 out) 31 Kopfhörermikrofon (Poly BT600), Windows WASAPI (1 in, 0 out) 44 Kopfhörermikrofon (Poly BT600), Windows WDM-KS (1 in, 0 out) 45 Kopfhörer (Poly BT600), Windows WDM-KS (0 in, 2 out)

I've got no idea which one I am supposed to select, and none of them appears to work. Could this be made a bit more user-friendly? Thanks!

@Flavescent you can try also try, there you have a more user friendly solution with a microphone test. ddxy/whispercat

@ddxy - thanks for the hint! This project does have a working microphone interface, but it still requires me to download, compile(?) and run the local Whisper server, which I lack the skills to do. I'm just looking for a normal end-user-targeted software that I can double-click an .exe to install to launch a GUI and that works out of the box without any command line work...

I'm modifying parakeet writer not whisper-writer, but the patch would be identical if you want to apply it here. - https://github.com/WarneDoc/Parakeet-Writer/compare/master...AJolly:Parakeet-Writer:master
