1# Global Audio Output Device Management
2
3You can use APIs to manage audio output devices, including querying audio output device information and listening for device connection status changes. For details about the APIs, see [AudioRoutingManager](../../reference/apis-audio-kit/arkts-apis-audio-AudioRoutingManager.md).
4
5## Creating an AudioRoutingManager Instance
6
7Before using AudioRoutingManager to manage audio devices, import the audio module and create an AudioManager instance.
8
9```ts
10import { audio } from '@kit.AudioKit';  // Import the audio module.
11
12let audioManager = audio.getAudioManager();  // Create an AudioManager instance.
13
14let audioRoutingManager = audioManager.getRoutingManager();  // Call an API of AudioManager to create an AudioRoutingManager instance.
15```
16
17## Supported Audio Output Device Types
18
19The table below lists the supported audio output devices.
20
21| Name| Value| Description|
22| -------- | -------- | -------- |
23| EARPIECE | 1 | Earpiece.|
24| SPEAKER | 2 | Speaker.|
25| WIRED_HEADSET | 3 | Wired headset with a microphone.|
26| WIRED_HEADPHONES | 4 | Wired headset without microphone.|
27| BLUETOOTH_SCO | 7 | Bluetooth device using Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) links.|
28| BLUETOOTH_A2DP | 8 | Bluetooth device using Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) links.|
29| USB_HEADSET | 22 | USB Type-C headset.|
30
31## Obtaining Output Device Information
32
33Use **getDevices()** to obtain information about all the output devices.
34
35```ts
36import { audio } from '@kit.AudioKit';
37
38audioRoutingManager.getDevices(audio.DeviceFlag.OUTPUT_DEVICES_FLAG).then((data: audio.AudioDeviceDescriptors) => {
39  console.info('Promise returned to indicate that the device list is obtained.');
40});
41```
42
43## Listening for Device Connection State Changes
44
45Set a listener to listen for changes of the device connection state. When a device is connected or disconnected, a callback is triggered.
46
47> **NOTE**
48>
49> The listener captures all changes in device connections. It is not recommended that the changes be used as a basis for handling automatic pausing in applications. If an application needs to manage services related to automatic pause, it should consider the [reasons behind changes in the audio stream output device](audio-output-device-change.md).
50
51```ts
52import { audio } from '@kit.AudioKit';
53
54// Listen for connection state changes of audio devices.
55audioRoutingManager.on('deviceChange', audio.DeviceFlag.OUTPUT_DEVICES_FLAG, (deviceChanged: audio.DeviceChangeAction) => {
56  console.info(`device change type : ${deviceChanged.type}`);  // Device connection state change. The value 0 means that the device is connected and 1 means that the device is disconnected.
57  console.info(`device descriptor size : ${deviceChanged.deviceDescriptors.length}`);
58  console.info(`device change descriptor : ${deviceChanged.deviceDescriptors[0].deviceRole}`);  // Device role.
59  console.info(`device change descriptor : ${deviceChanged.deviceDescriptors[0].deviceType}`);  // Device type.
60});
61
62// Cancel the listener for the connection state changes of audio devices.
63audioRoutingManager.off('deviceChange');
64```
65

67## Selecting an Audio Output Device (for System Applications only)
68
69Currently, only one output device can be selected, and the device ID is used as the unique identifier. For details about audio device descriptors, see [AudioDeviceDescriptors](../../reference/apis-audio-kit/arkts-apis-audio-t.md#audiodevicedescriptors).
70
71> **NOTE**
72>
73> The user can connect to a group of audio devices (for example, a pair of Bluetooth headsets), but the system treats them as one device (a group of devices that share the same device ID).
74
75```ts
76import { audio } from '@kit.AudioKit';
77import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';
78
79let outputAudioDeviceDescriptor: audio.AudioDeviceDescriptors = [{
80    deviceRole : audio.DeviceRole.OUTPUT_DEVICE,
81    deviceType : audio.DeviceType.SPEAKER,
82    id : 1,
83    name : "",
84    address : "",
85    sampleRates : [44100],
86    channelCounts : [2],
87    channelMasks : [0],
88    networkId : audio.LOCAL_NETWORK_ID,
89    interruptGroupId : 1,
90    volumeGroupId : 1,
91    displayName : ""
92}];
93
94async function selectOutputDevice() {
95  audioRoutingManager.selectOutputDevice(outputAudioDeviceDescriptor).then(() => {
96    console.info('Invoke selectOutputDevice succeeded.');
97  }).catch((err: BusinessError) => {
98    console.error(`Invoke selectOutputDevice failed, code is ${err.code}, message is ${err.message}`);
99  });
100}
101```
102<!--DelEnd-->
103
104## Obtaining Information About the Output Device with the Highest Priority
105
106Call **getPreferOutputDeviceForRendererInfo()** to obtain the output device with the highest priority.
107
108> **NOTE**
109>
110> The output device with the highest priority is the device that will output audio.
111
112```ts
113import { audio } from '@kit.AudioKit';
114import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';
115
116let rendererInfo: audio.AudioRendererInfo = {
117    usage: audio.StreamUsage.STREAM_USAGE_MUSIC, // Audio stream usage type: music. Set this parameter based on the service scenario.
118    rendererFlags: 0 // AudioRenderer flag.
119};
120
121async function getPreferOutputDeviceForRendererInfo() {
122  audioRoutingManager.getPreferOutputDeviceForRendererInfo(rendererInfo).then((desc: audio.AudioDeviceDescriptors) => {
123    console.info(`device descriptor: ${desc}`);
124  }).catch((err: BusinessError) => {
125    console.error(`Result ERROR: ${err}`);
126  })
127}
128```
129
130## Listening for Changes of the Output Device with the Highest Priority
131
132```ts
133import { audio } from '@kit.AudioKit';
134
135let rendererInfo: audio.AudioRendererInfo = {
136    usage: audio.StreamUsage.STREAM_USAGE_MUSIC, // Audio stream usage type: music. Set this parameter based on the service scenario.
137    rendererFlags: 0 // AudioRenderer flag.
138};
139
140// Listen for changes of the output device with the highest priority.
141audioRoutingManager.on('preferOutputDeviceChangeForRendererInfo', rendererInfo, (desc: audio.AudioDeviceDescriptors) => {
142    console.info(`device change descriptor : ${desc[0].deviceRole}`);  // Device role.
143    console.info(`device change descriptor : ${desc[0].deviceType}`);  // Device type.
144});
145
146// Cancel the listening for changes of the output device with the highest priority.
147audioRoutingManager.off('preferOutputDeviceChangeForRendererInfo');
148```
