Fool-proofing
This section is WIP
For some reason, Windows sometimes forgets/resets which monitor to use for PowerPoint (because the stage display set up means there are 3 monitors), and it also forgets which sound device to use for playback (choosing the HDMI matrix or a monitor) :/ (depending on the order of powering on the system and HDMI matrix etc.) Disabling the sound device is not enough
- Force Display arrangements https://github.com/terrymacdonald/DisplayMagician
- Force PowerPoint presentation to projector monitor
https://github.com/navhaxs/PowerGlue - Force Default Playback Device
https://github.com/frgnca/AudioDeviceCmdlets/tree/master
Set up (Run as admin)
Install-Module -Name AudioDeviceCmdlets
Figure what your device ID should be
Get-AudioDevice -List | Where-Object {$_.Type -eq 'Playback'}
And then create a job in Task Scheduler
ForceDefaultAudioDevice.ps1
$defaultAudioDevice = Get-AudioDevice -Playback | Select -ExpandProperty "ID" if ($defaultAudioDevice -ne "{0.0.0.00000000}.{e863185e-3b61-4bf8-ac5b-41ff79dec1b8}") { Set-AudioDevice -ID "{0.0.0.00000000}.{e863185e-3b61-4bf8-ac5b-41ff79dec1b8}" }
