sound capture devices.
is there is any property that detect output device attached to system so i can select which one to play back sound.
for example:-

This isn't related to FMS, however,

afaik it is not possible to select an output sound device. This is totally OS dependent. If you'd be on the Windows platform you'd have to change your default windows sound device in order to let Flash output sound to that.

This might be an interesting feature request for next versions of Flash.

In flash video player, right click anywhere inside the video and select settings. click on speaker icon and select your speakers.

Change default soundoutput in Windows itself:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > "Sounds and Audio Devices" > Tab Audio > Soundplayback: choose another sound device

You cannot do this from inside Flash fyi.

I filed a bug report to be able to change audio output device in flash player under Key: FP-6588.

At least in Flex, you can select the camera and microphone, its strange they don't have the capability to detect speakers and allow users to select speaker to use.

Yes, this is a stone age bug. We are ramping up with voip and conferencing and cant even select a stupid speaker.

did you vote for my bug report? https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-6588

This is a a delayed response to this discussion but I thought I would share my problem with this.

I have a USB audio interface, which I have configured as the default sound device on my iMac (OSX Lion). This works well in all applications, except Flash.

I have the device configured at quite a high bit rate.

Flash doesn't like this - it makes very strange noises. The only work around I have found is to disable the sound interface when I am working in Flash, and use the built in speakers on my iMac.

It works, but I'm the kind of guy that likes things to just work 😃

e.g. if iTunes can play mp3s through my sound interface, why can't Flash?

To be honest I think Adobe need to do a lot of work on the audio side of things with Flash. Not just playback - something a bit more flexible like Premier would be cool. Flash isn't dead yet. Come on Adobe!

A lot of the work I am doing at the moment requires building animation to a pre-recorded audio file.
