Hello,
I am new to this, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to do something fairly simple. When I am working on my desktop monitor, I want the sound to come through my desktop speakers. When I switch to my TV monitor, I want the sound to come through the tv speakers. I will never be using both monitors at the same time. How do I setup a monitor profile that allows me to do this?
Also, is there a way to setup a hotkey shortcut to disable the desktop monitor and turn on the TV monitor, and vice versa? I would like to be able to switch between the monitors and profiles quickly.
Thank you so much in advance!
Dan
Hey Daniel,
1) To change the audio, You'll want to create a script to change the default audio device. When create the scripting, all you need to add is the line "BFS.Audio.SetDefaultPlaybackCommunications(*nameofaudiodevicehere*);
You can then create 2 monitor profiles, 1 for your TV, and 1 for your monitor.
You can then create 2 triggers, with the "Monitor Profile Changed" event, and each monitor profile attached, and the action to run your script.
In essence, what this will do is when you change your monitor profile to "tv" for example, it will run the script to change the default audio device to the tv, and vise versa for the monitor.
I hope that makes sense, and if you have any questions, we have some help guides here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Help/
2) This can also be handled in the Monitor Configuration window, when you go to create monitor profiles. There is an Enabled/Disabled button you can use to change the state of one of your monitors. You can then save a monitor profile with that state applied, and assign it a key combination to quickly switch to.
Thanks!
