🔊 Switch Audio Output/Input with Alfred

🔈 SwitchAudio Alfred Workflow

Yet another audio input/output switching interface for SwitchAudioSource

Tested with Alfred 5 and macOS Monterey.

Motivation

All the other workflows I tried were incompatible with macOS Monterey, so I figured it would be easier to just build my own

Prerequisites

You need to have both SwitchAudioSource and JQ installed on your mac. This is most easily done via Homebrew:

brew install switchaudio-osx jq

Also you will need Alfred Powerpack. This workflow was tested with Alfred 5 only.

Installation

Download the workflow from GitHub the latest release page and open it :)

Usage

In Alfred type

;so — to switch output device

;si — to switch input device

Proposal: Profile switch

Hi,
First of all thank you for your excellent work. The workflows works like a charm.
I wanted to do a proposal.

Actually currently every time i use the Workflow i need to switch both input and output, example:

• Screen speaker + desk microphone
• Headphone speaker + headerphone microphone

I was thinking that would be great to have profile pre-saved and just be able to switch from a profile to another 😁

What do you think ?
I'll definitely be happy to brainstorm or propose a PR for it.

See Ya 👋

[Feature Request] Ability to Toggle Output / Input

I'm coming from the previous workflow which doesn't seem to be working anymore.
https://github.com/alexlafroscia/alfred-switch-audio-source

This workflow had the ability to toggle between outputs with the one previously used.
Essentially it just saves the id of the last output used and toggle between them.

I was looking at #1 and if we added an Input toggle as well, it could effectively cover that base too.

A keyword to toggle output
A keyword to toggle input
A keyword to toggle both at the same time
