Cider-Plugin-Set-Windows-Audio-Device

Sets the audio device of Cider on launch

Dependencies

This plugin requires SoundVolumeView to be downloaded and accessible via your system PATH.

Setup

1. Clone or download the files into a folder in your Cider plugins path (%APPDATA%\Cider\plugins)
2. Right click fixAudioRender.bat and select edit
3. Replace "VB-Audio VoiceMeeter AUX VAIO\Device\VoiceMeeter Aux Input\Render" with the "command-line friendly ID" of your playback device (this can be found by opening the SoundVolumeView GUI, double-clicking the desired playback device, and copying the ID from the pop-up window)
4. Quit Cider and relaunch it. Congratulations! Cider will now use the desired playback device anytime it launches.
5. The .bat can be manually launched from any location at any time if needed instead of relaunching Cider.

cider-plugin-set-windows-audio-device's Issues

Plugin does not work with Cider from Microsoft Store

If you have Cider installed via Microsoft Store, then the path that is used in index.js to the batch file is something like AppData\Roaming\Cider\Plugins\setaudiodevice\fixAudioRender.bat

But you need it to be something like AppData\Local\Packages\27554FireDevElijahKlauman.CiderAlpha_270bejk4xgzqp\LocalCache\Roaming\Cider\plugins\setaudiodevice\fixAudioRender.bat

I have no idea the right (generic) way to fix this.
I was able to fix it locally by using a hard coded path instead of a dynamic path.
