Guess I spoke too soon.

So, I gets home and I tried to do the exact same thing on my Voicemeter, but when I choose the keys and the output, it gives me a flashing 'Select Main Output Device"

So, why does it work on one machine, but not on another, with the exact same command in the macro?

I'm confused.

Also, while I'm here, it looks like I can't configure CTRL && SHIFT && F11, I can only have CTRL && F11 or SHIFT && F11, am I right?

This could your problem then, the PC at the home may not be "exactly" the same - double check the device name \ id matches exactly (as per Vincents original advice).

Maybe, I also cannot see a way in the key binding list of using double modifiers, eg CNTRL and SHIFT together.

because it's not exactly the same device name. check the device name for your second PC.

No, as it is written in the key list, its CTRL+key or SHIFT+key.

I did use the exact name, I went to vb, saved the settings, copied the name from the .xml file into the line of text, made sure as I was using wdm that was written too.

When I'm in front of my pc I'll do a screenshot.

This is the setup I tried, and when I push the button (or the keyboard combo) I get the flashing red error. Working on one machine and not on this, I know it not the software, it's defo a PEBCAK error, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

don't understand, when you select this device manually , it works ? yes or no ?

Yup, as that is how I'm manually doing it, click the drop down, pick the output, done, finish my stream, switch back to speakers.

when you select it manually, you select a WDM device ? could you send screenshot after having selected the wanted device manually ?.

Sure thing, so clicking the macro button fails, flashing red, select main output device



using drop down, I'll pick my main speakers after the failure (nothing checked as you can see)



it then accepts it and has it displaying, as you can see



I then want to switch to my 2nd output for streaming, so I do the drop down again and click the 2nd choice.



and again, it picks it and accepts it.



Hope this helps, I'm happy to enable any debug modes or copy and paste logs if you need them, just provide me with the location you want them, if this is something you've not already seen before and know a solution.

you may try that:
after having selected the output device
save the settings in XML file... and go in it to copy/paste the device name in your macrobutton script...

if th eproblem remains, show me your script in MacroButtons...
