Hello, I’m making audio settings for a game where I need to select a microphone. Using the RuntimeManager.CoreSystem.getRecordNumDrivers() function I can get the ID of the audio devices, then using the RuntimeManager.CoreSystem.getRecordDriverInfo() function I can get the device characteristics, bu…

FMOD doesn’t filter loopback devices from the device list, but yes, it does add the suffix " [loopback]". For the moment, manually filtering any devices with the suffix is your best option, as the intended workflow of retrieving recording devices doesn’t really allow for exclusion. However, a cleare…

[image] hardsmoke: but is it possible to get the ID of the microphones only? Can you elaborate on what drivers are being listed that aren’t microphones? Are you referring to loopback devices?

It would also be convenient to return data not through parameters with the out keyword, but as an object, for example, as I did. Often you don’t need to get all the data, but you still have to specify parameter names or “_” in parameters. ▶ Example code

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve added it to the tracker - returning a struct of info via pass-by-reference/out is something that is done in other places in the API, so there is a precedent for something like this.

Is it possible to extract microphone ID's separately from speakers?
