So, if you need to know the name that windows uses for its devices, like a microphone for example, in your programs you can do this:
import sounddevice as sd
def get_mic_name():
"Uses sounddevice to get the name of the mic in case it changed"
s = sd.query_devices()
audio = f"""{s[1]["name"]})"""
return audio
name = get_mic_name()
So, here I am getting the name of the mic, that (in my case) is the “name” key of the second dictionary in the list of dictionaries that are made by the query_devices function class of sounddevice.
Watch the video to get an example of use of it.
The program I use to record the screen
This needs to be adapted to your needs, but I post it here in case you could take some tips out of it for your needs.
