Get-AudioDevice -List, error when disabled device present #35

semce2 · 2019-11-30T21:28:40Z

Maybe I did something wrong but this doesn't work for me. I get : Element not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070490). FullyQualifiedErrorId: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException,AudioDeviceCmdlets.GetAudioDevice.

Agreed:

Not sure how to get more information / troubleshoot further, @frgnca any pointers?

frgnca · 2020-01-17T02:48:44Z

Never seen this before. What is the output of say
Get-AudioDevice -Index 1

Does it give a different error message?

cebaa · 2020-01-17T19:19:53Z

@frgnca

No, same:

Get-AudioDevice : Element not found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070490)

One more detail that I just become aware of. I have multiple audio devices. The above fails only when issued against a non-default audio device. It succeeds when issued against a default device. I've tested by changing all combinations.

This is with AudioDeviceCmdlets 3.0.0.4 by the way.

TheEngineerGuy · 2020-11-25T17:36:09Z

Same issue.

As described above, all switch parameters are working, other than List.

In regards to your question @frgnca , I don't have an active device on Index 1, but if I look for 3, I get a result as expected.

>Get-AudioDevice -Index 3


Index   : 3
Default : True
Type    : Playback
Name    : Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
ID      : {0.0.0.00000000}.{94f04e23-d7a2-485e-bd3b-35debef6ba0e}
Device  : CoreAudioApi.MMDevice

I have re-installed the module as well. Just to make sure that it wasn't an import issue.

> Get-Module

Kindly assist.

TheEngineerGuy · 2020-11-25T19:06:49Z

Performed some additional tests.

If I disable all devices, leaving only the active device enabled. I get the result. But the moment any other device gets enabled, it stops working again.

> Get-AudioDevice -List


Index   : 1
Default : True
Type    : Playback
Name    : Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
ID      : {0.0.0.00000000}.{94f04e23-d7a2-485e-bd3b-35debef6ba0e}
Device  : CoreAudioApi.MMDevice

Another interesting finding, if all devices above the Default device are disabled and the ones below the default device are enabled, the list works till it hits the first non-default device.

Get-AudioDevice -List


Index   : 1
Default : True
Type    : Playback
Name    : Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
ID      : {0.0.0.00000000}.{94f04e23-d7a2-485e-bd3b-35debef6ba0e}

To me, it seems that (possibly after the new windows update) non-default devices are no longer providing an element of data required to populate this list, which makes the query to stop on first non-default device, and stop recursing through the rest of the list.

What do you think @frgnca ?

costafrancesco94 · 2020-11-30T13:45:21Z

I'm also affected by this bug, I installed the dll only with Install-Module -Name AudioDeviceCmdlets and I confirm I can see the device with Get-AudioDevice -Index 2 and I can set the audio playback with Set-AudioDevice -PlaybackVolume 50.

I cannot exec Set-AudioDevice 2 -PlaybackVolume 50 nor Set-AudioDevice "{...}" -PlaybackVolume 50 nor with Set-AudioDevice (Get-AudioDevice -Index 2) -PlaybackVolume 50 but I don't know if the behaviour is intentional.
They all gave to me

snowmountainer · 2021-01-18T11:33:06Z

I could see the same error.
Personally, I suspect that the error only occurs on computers with newer hardware.

TheEngineerGuy · 2021-01-18T15:29:00Z

This has nothing to do with newer hardware. My PC is Haswell 4790k from 2015. I found exactly what causes the issue. When Mic is connected issue disappears, when mic is disconnected issue appears.

As posted in my previous message, latest windows update removes certain details from disconnected devices that this query is looking for. So, instead of gracefully moving to the next device, this query just crashes.

#@TheEngineerGuy

To me, it seems that (possibly after the new windows update) non-default devices are no longer providing an element of data required to populate this list, which makes the query to stop on first non-default device, and stop recursing through the rest of the list.

Here is where the error is probably occuring

AudioDeviceCmdlets/SOURCE/AudioDeviceCmdlets.cs

Lines 163 to 177 in 3d33a5b

    
           // For every MMDevice in DeviceCollection 
        
           for (int i = 0; i < DeviceCollection.Count; i++) 
        
           { 
        
               // If this MMDevice's ID is either, the same the default playback device's ID, or the same as the default recording device's ID 
        
               if (DeviceCollection[i].ID == DevEnum.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(EDataFlow.eRender, ERole.eMultimedia).ID || DeviceCollection[i].ID == DevEnum.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(EDataFlow.eCapture, ERole.eMultimedia).ID) 
        
               { 
        
                   // Output the result of the creation of a new AudioDevice while assining it an index, and the MMDevice itself, and a default value of true 
        
                   WriteObject(new AudioDevice(i + 1, DeviceCollection[i], true)); 
        
               } 
        
               else 
        
               { 
        
                   // Output the result of the creation of a new AudioDevice while assining it an index, and the MMDevice itself 
        
                   WriteObject(new AudioDevice(i + 1, DeviceCollection[i])); 
        
               } 
        
           }

[...] latest windows update removes certain details from disconnected devices that this query is looking for. So, instead of gracefully moving to the next device, this query just crashes.

Hopefuly my goal of adding support for disabled/disconnected AudioDevice will bypass this problem.

TheEngineerGuy · 2021-08-15T18:24:29Z

Good find. I think you are correct. It should bypass the issue when there is something in 'recoding device' list, even if it is disabled or disconnected.

Even before this condition we could branch out the 'if', to execute 'iff' there is a device in default recording device list. If there is a default device execute as is, and if not execute modified conditions without recording device conditions. Just a thought, I leave it to you how you think it would be best.

Rochkiller · 2021-09-25T10:16:16Z

I just got this error when I disconnected my default recording device, just re-connected it the error is gone.

I have manually compiled "Dev v3.0.1 communicationdevice #30" and "add -ShowDisabled parameter support to List parameter (#24)". I don't try to see if this occurs with the lastest available release (3.0).

It's a shame that this wonderful tweak didn't update anymore ...

frgnca · 2022-01-23T13:34:30Z

I just want to confirm being able to replicate this bug by calling the -List parameter when there is no enabled playback device and/or no enabled recording device.
I intent to fix this bug before merging #52 into the master branch.

frgnca · 2022-01-27T20:04:20Z

With the code as it is now in #52, I think the problem possibly exists in 3 places.

List parameter

Having fixed the way the List, ID, and Index parameters work, I came to the conclusion that this bug could also happen in the same way in pretty much all of the other parameters. I will continue to work on those from pull request #55

frgnca · 2022-02-18T15:31:22Z
