Can't set default input or output (error: cannot assign to property: 'defaultInputDevice' is a get-only property)

[Josh Nichols]

The documentation suggests:

Getting/setting default input, output and system device (see SimplyCoreAudio)

But I haven't a way to get this to work yet. When I try, I get error: cannot assign to property: 'defaultInputDevice' is a get-only property

Simplest way to reproduce:

let simplyCA = SimplyCoreAudio()
simplyCA.defaultInputDevice = simplyCA.defaultInputDevice

[Ryan Francesconi]

device.isDefaultInputDevice = true

That is helpful, thanks! Is there a better way to find a device to set as default than something like this?

			let device = simplyCA.allInputDevices.first(where: { $0.name == deviceName })
                      	device?.isDefaultInputDevice = true

It seems like there should be a helper for it, but also... it's easy enough.

If you're making a selector you should use the UID rather than the name. A name isn't necessarily unique whereas the device UID is.

[Josh Nichols]

Good point.

I think my request at this point is an example in the docs for setting the default input/output.

[Ryan Francesconi]

sure, that seems right!
